Pristine and perfect stay

Absolutely pristine and comfortable, well fitted out and lovely touches like dolphin shower curtain hooks, press-coffee pot, small patio with view of mountains. Occasional lamps in living room and bedrooms would have been nice as overhead light not romantic at all!

This was a great property — very clean, all the bells and whistles for a kitchen, sitting space, large veranda, secluded location in back of property. We were lucky to fine this gem #12

Best Motel of our 3 week NZ trip

Out suite was on top floor at the back and had superb views across the fields to the sunset and mountains. It was spacious and clean and well furnished. Everything seemed brand new. Nicer than most folks home apartments!

Excellent location, spotless & comfy!

We were thrilled to have a quiet room in the back with beautiful views and peaceful, quiet surroundings. So many thoughtful touches, like ear plugs, a fully equipped kitchen, (didn’t do any cooking, with so many excellent places to eat within walking distance), heat lamps in the bathroom and a wonderful shower, and a smart TV to watch Netflix. The balcony was a bonus, even saw some Keas, large NZ parrots flying in the field. The beds were comfy, there was a king sized bed and a separate bedroom with twin beds. The staff was friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back!

Convenient and comfortable

Convenient motel on edge of Kaikoura with easy access to restaurants & walks. Motel has been recently refurshed and the room & bathroom, which had a much appreciated spa bath, were spotless. Self laundry facilities excellent. No breakfast available but rooms had small kitchenettes with microwave, hob, fridge & utensils. As with most hotels/motels it is on a busy main road, but traffic was quiet during the night & ear plugs provide!

Clean, no frills, directly off Main Street, oddly quiet ;except for cleaning crew yelling at each other using voice and walk-in talkies).

Clean motel within walking distance to various dining options. Room is very clean with a small fridge, kitchenette and basic utensils. Parking is a bit challenging. We did not use any of their services but the staff is polite and checking in is fast.
