The Rocks Motel

The Rocks Motel is at 27 Meeanee Quay in Westshore, directly opposite Westshore Beach and close to the Ahuriri Estuary. The beach is about a three-minute walk and the estuary about five, with kayaking, windsurfing, swimming and sailing all accessible from the immediate area. Hawke's Bay Airport is roughly five minutes' drive away.

Published listings describe 13 individually decorated units, with room types including king studios with spa baths, executive suites and family units. Units are fitted with kitchenettes including refrigerators and microwaves. Free Wi-Fi and free self-parking are provided, and the property has guest laundry facilities plus a barbecue and picnic area. A continental breakfast is available, served to a set morning window.

The Westshore position is quieter than the Napier CBD and Ahuriri, while remaining a short drive from both. That, together with the very close airport access, suits fly-in business travellers on short stays and delegates who prefer a coastal base away from the town centre. The mix of studios, executive suites and family units gives some flexibility for mixed parties, and the barbecue and picnic area is useful for informal group gatherings.

No conference or meeting room is advertised, so organisers requiring meeting space would need to arrange it separately. Accessibility provisions, EV charging and any current Qualmark rating were not confirmed in the sources reviewed and should be checked with the property. The unit count above comes from booking listings rather than the operator and is worth verifying at the time of booking.
