Comfy room and facilities great

Great, clean swimming pool. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms

Everything
Great value. Staff extremely helpful and accommodating.
Nice
Clean and everything you need is at your doorstep. Staff went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed. The pool and the garden were absolutely lovely and well looked after.
Unfortunately despite the owner’s effort to help us with that issue, the WiFi connection is not reliable enough throughout the hotel to get some work done or even to watch some streaming service online. If you can get front pools rooms you’ll definitely get a better internet reception.
Sunny unit with everything you needed for a short stay away - plus wifi, Netflix and pool if you wanted to cool down. Unit was cleaned daily with fresh towels and soaps replenished.
No block out on upper windows in the main bedroom.
Spacious , tidy and very clean
Very good privacy - good amenities
Clean, quiet, super tidy grounds, everything we needed.
That the smoke alarm went off randomly while we were just falling asleep, flat batteries in the heat pump remote (we just replaced them)
Great place to stay on my trip to Gisborne and would stay again.
On arrival we were welcomed and offered an upgrade that we were very grateful for.The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the apartment was spacious, very clean, comfortable and very well serviced. The location is excellent, very handy to Restaurants, Shopping, The Beach, and no road noise. Parking is excellent and the grounds are well kept. Very affordable. If your a family looking for accommodation in Gisborne we highly recommend The Teal.
Our time in Gisborne went way to fast.
Location, comfort & cleanliness.

We have stayed at the Teal before it's got everything we need including a stove clean and comfy would have preferred a friendlier welcome at reception restaurant to motel delivery was great even has an onsite Thai massage service booking our next stay x
Large very comfortable unit. Well equipped kitchen and large TV
The place is very neat, clean. Bed sheets however was not straitened after my first night stay onwards. They supply one of the nicest filter coffee sachets I tasted in a long time.
Sky television is not operational in any of the units.The wifi was switched of early hours of the morning. Police was chasing someone around the units
Pool Was awesome
Location for a short trip
Found a dead mouse at the entrance of our door
Easy check in, clean and everything that was needed.
Thank you very much
Had everything we needed for our stay.
Well managed, great location, clean and friendly.
Room cleaning a bit random
Spacious .. great cooking facilities.. 2 TVs .. pool
Location was excellent. The cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a swimming pool but we didn’t use as I saw a camera looking straight across it.
There seem to be more security cameras on the property than you would find in a bank! The cost to stay was not in line with the product on offer. The carpark was across the front door to our unit and it was difficult to get in and out. The kitchen was tiny and no pan to cook in. On arrival the following issues were found: - Toilet seat broken - TV remote not working and Netflix not working - Door between kitchen and bathroom would not latch or stay closed so when you showered it would slowly open - No hand soap in bathroom Most of these matters were fixed immediately however given how much we paid we should not have had to worry about this.
Loved our stay at Teal motor lodge! Staff was friendly and definitely felt like home away from home :) kids loooved the pool, they were in there pretty much everyday 😊 will deffs be back when we come back to Gizzy for a holiday
I liked everything while staying there. The host Steward & staff was friendly & helpful through out my stay there. The place was clean & had everything I needed. Despite the horrible weather after Xmas, I could stay inside watching movies with all the different options like sky, Netflix etc. I will anytime stay there again
Great pool, good kitchen facilities and spacious enough for a family of 4
Slightly dated room, and toilet seat a bit loose
Location was fine. Everything required was there.
The room was very tired and grubby. It all needs refurbishing. The bed settee which we only used as a settee is filthy. We moved on to Whakatane and paid less for a beautiful suite that is clean and fresh.
We didn't stay for breakfast. It was a quick trip. Good being in Gisborne.
Good
Spacious and comfortable
Property tired and basic maintenance (of this room) had been neglected. A list was provided to reception.
A few squeaky doors,. Require oiling
Clean Tidy and friendly staff.. Super , awesome to have the pool right outside our room, we had it all to ourselves.. It's really awesome to have a stove oven in our unit. How great, even though we didn't use it, it's still a really handy kitchen tool .. The shower pressure was amazing..
We made a last minute decision to travel to Gisborne for the night. Easy to book online, easy to find, very grateful that a key was left out for us as we arrived after the 8pm check in time, very clean, comfy beds. We were on the main road heading into Gisborne we a little concerned about the traffic passing, I did not hear a thing. The grounds were beautiful setting.
Can't think of anything.
Stuart in the office was awesome and helpful 🙂👏
Door handle on bathroom kept jamming my hand closing the door Maybe move it over
Location was good for work needs, close to town. Quiet back of property unit.
Friendly staff, great location , a very clean ,spacious and comfortable apartment, excellent Service from the beginning of our stay till the end. We will definitely stay again . Thank you so much.
Our stay wasn't longer
I loved my entire stay, very accommodating, lovely mannerisms from staff. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you.
Everything they did and what was there to use was fantastic
There was absolutely nothing wrong
The pool is a must with teenagers, and it was lovely. Lovely garden surrounding pool with chairs to relax in.
Close to town, had a pool
It was super hot and needed a fan in the room or aircon. Too much lighting outside hard to get child to sleep.
Friendly helpful staff, lovely well kept pool and area. Clean room. All facilities needed. Spa bath. Good location
Room was dated and could do with a refurbish but definitely value for money.
Nice landscaped tidy grounds, great pool and very clean rooms.
Nothing
Clean and location
I liked the service, the room, everything. I loved the shampoo, and moisturiser and makeup remover. Thank you. I wish the weather was better so I could have gone for a swim. Excellent service, excellent room Thank you
Nothing to comment here
Very friendly helpful staff, clean, tidy premises, great place to stay. The pool looks great to for the summer months!
I needed a quiet place to end my holiday, before going back to my normal everyday routine. The room was great, facilities were good, I loved that the TV was on a stand so you were able to turn it toward the TV as well as to the couch area, the bed was super comfy and so were the pillows, both nice and firm. The cleaning was fantastic, I went out during the morning and when I came back my room was reset! And I love that there is a car park right outside your room
My only complaint is that the room smelt like cigarettes had been smoked in the room, so I did end up spraying the room with deodorizer and it got rid of the smell
The room was not very clean & no smoke alarm.
Cleanliness, comfort, and quietness.
Friendly and helpful owner. Great location. Units are set back from the road so didn’t notice traffic noise. Pool and lawn landscaped area well laid out and good area for kids. Unit like a home away from home with all those small extras that other places often don’t have for example; closet with hangers, rack for tea towel, shower rack for your soap & shampoo, large fridge/freezer, 2 tv’s, ironing board & iron, hairdryer, large mirrors, large dining table, coffee table, large shelf, plenty of places to put all your supplies off the floor. Wifi was excellent compared to some other places!
Can’t think of anything.
The staff were exceptional. When I figured out that I would not teach the location until really late, they were so accommodating with leaving the key in the room and letting me know where my room was
The lights shine in the small windows along the top - there are no window dressings along these - not a biggie and certainly did not take away the comfort level but I do like darkness when sleeping.
Good night sleep
Great service great facilities thank you 😊
Was handy to visit family which was the reason for visiting.
We stayed in the unit with the spa bath which we loved it was nice and relaxing. Good sized room comfortable and warm.
Hot bed bug bites from the mattress and blanket
