4.0 / 10.0
This was a great place to stay for one night on our drive up to Nelson. The only thing that let it down for us is that the unit we had was an upstairs one fronting the road and was very noisy - especially with trucks traveling up and down the road all through the night (and some inconsiderate drivers using their engine brakes).

Very comfortable, quiet, good facilities, pretty good view of Kaikoura mountains. Very convenient for walking to town centre and to whale watching centre. Motel is on the main highway, but in room 15, hardly noticed any noise so excellent!

I arrived about 8:30pm and a very nice woman greeted me and spent time sharing knowledge of the area. She was most helpful all around, I greatly appreciated it as a long day of driving and hiking!

Close to town, kitchenette allowed us to do our own cooking. Would be nice to add a frying pan and a large bowl to kitchen however! Very spacious and modern. Would definitely stay again.

Really nice experience. Room had everything well thought out as to what a traveller might need. Comfortable bed and beautifully clean throughout. Units were arranged around a kind of central area and had a laundry with both washer and dryer available. Close to the rest of Kaikoura which is a lovely place to stop with many shops close to the hotel. Highly recommend

Nice service, but quite dated place. Not the best cleaning and limitations to what you could cook in the kitchen. Smell of the bathroom was quite strong. Location is pretty good though.

Friendly and helpful staff. Accommodation was good but alittle cold. There was a heater but it was noisy and no electric blanket.
On the plus side, the accommodation is very convenient to the main street shops and restaurants. I would stay again - just when it's abit warmer.

Property was ok, on a major road ( 1 ) and was noisy with trucks going past, power points behind the bed not accessible. Only plus point was the spa in the bathroom. Will look for other accomodation next time.
