This charming husband and wife offered a clean and affordable sanctuary just off the busy kennedy rd. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard everyday, and well equipped with kitchen utensils if needed. They offered helpful advice on the area and attractions, and the location is perfect for those travelling with private transport. Overall a very pleasant experience!

We normally stay with family when we are in Napier but due to a big family gathering there was no room for us so we had to stay in a motel. I picked Pania Lodge based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and I wasn't disappointed. It is a quiet, clean motel with generous sized rooms and the bed was comfy and the shower was powerful and hot which are the 2 things I rate a motel on. Easy drive into the city and the owners were really friendly and accommodating as we had driven up from Wellington and got there quite late at night and they waited up for us. I would definitely recommend this place.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights and we were very pleased with the motel. The room was clean and the bedding spotless. The owner, John, could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The motel is situated on one of the main roads into Napier and so access to the town is easy. As we were there during the Deco festival, it gave us a quiet place to rest away from the hustle and bustle. There is no a/c but using the opening windows allowed for good flow of air. It is beside a park so there are good views of mature trees from some of the rooms.
