The Senator is in a great central location – if visiting you can walk to all the restaurants and to town.  The owners were friendly and helpful, and it was so so clean.  We loved it.  
The rooms upstairs are the best – great balconies with good views. Large room, good comfortable beds and great rooms.  We had a look at these and would recommend them.
Sadly, they have stairs to get to them and showers over the baths which I can’t do so I had the adapted room downstairs.  A queen bed but still a large room  and the shower and bathroom was one of he best set up ones I have seen – the  shower rail actually came down low enough for the person seated to use and a separate holder for the shower so it could be low enough – amazing how many places don’t do this – it was excellent.  And the water stayed in the shower area, so the floor was not slippery – another issue others don’t think about.  Everything was so clean – the shower curtain was spotless and wide enough to stay away from the person in the shower but keep the rest of the large bathroom dry. Small things that matter if you are unsteady on your feet.  Well done, Senator.
Cleaning was offered every day and friendly – although we didn’t use it some days as lazy days  still in the room – but even if we didn’t want a full clean, they would offer to  replenish our tea bags etc and changed towels etc if we wanted.  Cleaning obviously a strength in this motel.
Location was great – for new year’s eve we could sit in our room and watch the fireworks.  There was a small outside patio – but as this was virtually on the street, we didn’t tend to use it much – but sat inside with our doors open watching the world go by.  The street was mostly quiet  so usually not an issue with noise.  I was worried about having a room at street level like this, but it felt safe and was good to see what was happening.  Just a couple of nights were noisy  with a few people– but that was not for long.  Café next door and Restaurants are so close – walkable for me on crutches and when I took the wheelchair. Means we could all enjoy a drink when we went out.
There is a washing machine and dryer for use and the air conditioning was very effective.
Only negative is the shower water pressure was a little weak. I would recommend the motel – especially of you get the upstairs rooms.

Handy location for Gisborne visit - walking distance to everything

Our room was a delight as it was roomy, very well equipped and decorated as well as having a spacious bathroom (with a full length bath).  The owners were very welcoming and helpful with local knowledge so we stayed 2 nights instead of only 1 as planned.  Will book there on any future trips.  Tariffs were very reasonable.

Roomy and well appointed rooms

Karen provided excellent service from the initial contact regarding our booking right through to our departure. The units are large, clean and comfortable with serene outlooks over the marina. Perfectly positioned in the centre of town making it a short walk to a multitude of eating establishments and the beach. Highly recommended.

Great location and hospitality

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and Karen has been very accommodating.
We always get an upstairs unit overlooking the harbor. 
Because of the location it is quiet with very little traffic but within walking distance of fine restaurants and the city center. 
Rooms are always immaculate with everything you need. 
We will be back next time we're in Gizzy 👍😊

A Beautiful place to stay 

My husband and I spent the weekend here for his 40th birthday.
The room was beautiful and well maintained. We also loved the view looking across at the harbour.
The bathroom was beautiful and clean and spacious!! 
The hosts were amazing!! Even going above and beyond and looking after the 40th birthday cake we had made for the Occassion and keeping it in their kitchen, which made our weekend so much easier!! 
We loved how close we were to town and enjoyed walking to find our meal. 
We will definitely becoming to spend future weekends here 😊😊

Great City Retreat!!

I stayed for work - it was such a pleasure staying in a motel that met all of my needs.  and I was upgraded because I checked in early and paid! Awesome service, communication and overall experience.  No doubt, the Senator is now my first option when travelling to Gizzy.  Nga mihi

Relaxing time

We stayed here for 3 nights in a ground floor unit with separate bedroom.
Positives:
Good location, easy ealk to shops and resturants.
Very clean and well presented space.
Warm.
Helpful staff.
Negatives:
The light from the reception area leaks into the bedroom at night (hard to get to sleep if you are used to block out curtains)
Limited seating in the lounge area. 
Overall a very positive stay and would recommend The Senator as a place to stay in Gidborne.


Would recommend this motel

So perfectly located in central Gisborne.  Rooms have a lovely outlook and sunsets are beautiful from here.  Very clean and tidy and roomy.  YOu can walk into town from here. I'll be back and I would definitely recommend.

Great loacation and friendly host

This motel is in an excellent location - every room has a nice outlook over the river. The rooms are spacious with lovely fixtures and fittings - more like a high end hotel. The rooms have everything you need. The couple who run the motel are very welcoming and helpful 

Luxury accommodation at an affordable price

Such a great spot to stay, superb views out to water, within walking distance to shops,  restaurants etc. So clean and well set up, spacious and light.
Balcony wonderful spot for sitting having drinks, breakfast etc watching the boats etc on the river, so close to main beach as well.
