The property is conveniently located in central Kaikoura, walking distance to New World and various takeaway shops. A few minutes drive to WestEnd St with all major restaurants on it. Even though on SH1, it is very quiet, very clean and pleasant. Our room on the 1st floor was vary spacious, had a table for 2 and a separate computer desk and a little balcony looking at the mountains. Plenty of parking space. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Nice and clean room. Check in was easy and free parking onsite. Only down side is the electric kettle was super dirty inside. Don’t dare to boil for my instant noodles. No room cleaning for my 2 days stays but they manage to change my towels

We had an enjoyable stay in room 21 which faces east so had breakfast on the balcony invthe morning sun. The room was spacious and well appointed. The bathroom had a heated towel rail and underfloor heating. The king size bed was soft so ideal if thats your preference. Cooking is in a microwave , otherwise youre dining out or at the bbq provided in the outdoor area at the back of the property. A relaxed and helpful host added to the pleasant nature of the stay.

Our suite was perfect for a pāpā and his two sons. Had everything we needed to break up a long drive for a night. This motel isn't right in Kaikōura township so if you want to be downtown, there's a decent walk or a quick drive to navigate. This said, the staff were lovely and the parking ample, so it was perfect for us. The only downside was a neighbours aviary which was close to our unit and meant for an early wake up when the birds starting their day. 3minute walk to the supermarket was perfect for us, and a few minutes further down the road was a great Pizza joint with a good selection of beer on tap for while you're waiting for your food to cook. My 4yo and I were able to walk to the main township area in under 20min in the morning so no complaints at all re: location.

This is the fourth time we have stayed here and it will always be our first stay when we visit the South Island. It seems everything is brand new it is spotlessly clean and everything is perfect. Underfloor heating in the bathroom kind of states the excellence of this place.

This is the fourth time we have stayed here and will always be our first choice when we start a holiday in the South Island. So convenient as you enter Kaikoura and it is extremely well laid out inside and out. Seems to be brand new every time we come in it is so clean and appointments so good.

No prior notification that the laundry was out of action, which was disappointing as was one of the reasons we booked this hotel. Also the kitchenette consists of fridge, kettle, microwave which limits options for eating in but still possible. Cot bed was provided on request at reception, with self-assembly and a request for self-disassembly at the end of the stay. Overall it did the job.
