The Story of Ace High Motor Inn
Ace High Motor Inn has been a cornerstone of Napier hospitality since opening its doors. Originally purchased on 13th of December 2013, our journey began after spending three years searching across the North Island for the perfect property. Though we initially set out to buy a hotel, our search led us to this special place—and we’ve never looked back.
From day one our vision has been simple: to provide clean, comfortable and welcoming accommodation for every guest. Over the years, we’ve continued to evolve and improve, listening to the needs of our guests and ensuring our facilities and service keep pace with modern expectations.
What truly sets us apart is our attention to detail. Our staff are trained with one key goal in mind—if you stay a second night, your unit should look and feel just as fresh as it did the first time you walked in. That consistency and care are part of what keeps guests coming back.
We’re also proud to be Napier’s only pet-friendly motel, welcoming your furry companions with open arms. Our large, tree-lined park provides a relaxing setting and our 16 sparkling clean units come equipped with full cooking facilities (available in all but three units). Several of our larger units can sleep up to six guests, making us ideal for families, sports teams and school groups.
With polite, efficient staff and flexible bedding options—including king beds that can be split into singles—we’re here to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. Whether you’re visiting for a holiday or just passing through, we look forward to welcoming you to Ace High Motor Inn.

GOOD Based on 122 reviews Posted on Dan MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very spacious and cosy. Frank, his family & the staff were absolutely fantastic for the duration of my stay (2 weeks). I especially loved the daily servicing of the room, which many hotel/motels no longer offer as standard. Highly recommended for short or long stays.Posted on Tamlyn WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't fault Ace High at all, after staying for just over two weeks my kids and I absolutely love this place. Owner and reception staff are amazing to approach and cleaners were something I have never seen before and I've stayed in many of motels, always made sure we had EVERYTHING daily. Room was absolutely spotless upon arrival. An amazing team, thank you so much we appreciate everything you all did.Posted on The STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've stayed at Ace High Motor Inn many times now and absolutely love it, it's the only place I stay when I got to Hawkes Bay, Frank and the team are lovely and caring and make sure you have the best stay. Highly recommend.Posted on Jonathon RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first time traveling with our dogs. We were made extremely welcome and accommodated from the first phone call. Rooms are nicely appointed and kept in great condition. Staff were helpful and scruffed the ears of my good boys. The service provided turned our trip into a memorable dog-cation. Saved as our 'go to' from now onwards.
