Value for money.

Good clean spacious unit. Comfortable bed. Shower was great. Coffee mugs had been put away dirty. No air con/heat pump but an electric heater was supplied.
P, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Jo was very friendly and welcoming. Stayed 2 nights. Excellent location. 2nd night had a very noisy family next door, kids banging doors, banging on walls & yelling. Unfortunately I guess that's what you may strike during school holidays. C'est la vie! Other than that a very enjoyable stay
Lynette, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No one to check in. No milk in fridge and no hot water/ hot water cylinder was removed. Did not get to talk to staff until 7:30pm Then no answer to hot water problem
Warwick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We found it hard to keep warm, though admittedly it was an exceptionally cold night. Entry into the bathroom was very tight. On a previous visit we must have stayed in a bigger unit, as we would not have wanted to stay in this one again.
Rachel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very basic, dated, unit was clean. The only place I was worried my laundry would come out dirtier than when it went in. 😳 only heating was bar heater.

Our week in kaikoura

The motel was perfect for our stay in Kaikoura, we stayed for 6 nights and it was very comfortable and an excellent base to explore the town and surrounding areas

Perfect spot! Lovely room with a microwave, fridge, and parking. A step away from the beach front and beautiful views. We loved it there.
