Albatross Motel

56 Meeanee Quay, Westshore, Napier

The Albatross Motel has 13 x accessible rooms!


Located in the friendly seaside community of Westshore, surrounded by the unique and beautiful Ahuriri Estuary and the safe swimming beach of Westshore. The new cycleway is metres from your door. We are just up the road from the quaint marina of Ahuriri and its many popular bars and restaurants. 5 minutes from Park Island sports ground and 12 minutes to the new Sports Parks, Hawkes Bay, 2 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes to the CBD.

However, please note that ONLY Unit 12 has grab rails! The owner is considering buying suction grab rails to have on hand for the other access rooms. With regards shower chairs - they have ONE available if needed.

  • Unit 2 is a two bedroom unit with cooking facilities. There are 2 x single beds in each room and a 1 x queen bed in the living room. Sleeps 6 comfortably.
  • Units 1, 2, 6, 9 are all one bedroom units with cooking facilities. 1 x Queen bed. Sleeps 4.
  • Units 4, 5, 7, 8 are twin rooms with 1 x queen and 1 x single. NB: These have quite tight access for accessing bathroom due to a large breakfast bar area in the kitchen.
  • Unit 10 is a double room, but does not have cooking facilities - would be ideal for an overnight stay.
  • Unit 11, 12, 14 - these units are pet-friendly (both personal pets and service dogs) - they are in the older wing. Unit 12 is the only unit with handrails in the bathroom.

Reviews

The motel is owned by a Scottish couple - Jo used to be a nurse so knows her stuff! They have plans in to renovate to include a fully accessible cafe and bistro on-site! Look forward to returning to see that.
