• Patrick (5/5): - Very clean General environment
• Dave (8/5): -
• Lenore (10/5): Nice stop over point on the way to Christchurch - Convenient Nothing
• Caroline (8/5): - Everything was so easy Nothing
• Mark (4/5): I have had better value for money in Kaikoura. - Kaikoura. No view, bathroom needs a revamp, bathroom had mold on the wall tiles and the controller for the spa bath needed replacing.
• Jennie (10/5): Great - Room had everything we needed. The bathroom was great plenty of room. Room very clean. Car parking was a bit tight.
• Ernest Peter (3/5): - The room was smelling like it had been closed for a while, we had to air it out before we could stay inside for long
• Darryl (8/5): -
• Jessica (9/5): Quiet, comfortable, affordable. - We had a very comfortable stay. The room was very spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The kitchenette was really well stocked with equipment. It was quiet and peaceful and the perfect place to rest for the night, and felt very affordable. Parking right outside our room's front door was an added bonus! Curtains on the two main windows were thick and covered the light and kept warmth in - but the blind over the kitchen window as a bit flimsy and let outside light in overnight. Other than this we were very comfortable.
• Annette (7/5): -
• Kylie (8/5): - Lovely motel just a few minutes walk in to the main street. Clean, spacious room with a very comfortable bed, a shaded little outdoor seating area (we stayed in Unit 1) and a fantastic shower. Great water pressure - clean and large bathroom. Laundry next door to the room is a bonus. Takes coins, but reception can provide change. For sport lovers, my husband was very happy that Sky channels are available on the TV, so he could watch our beloved AFL. Would stay again. Comfortable stay, no complaints.
• Duncan (6/5): - Pool is the main attraction when booking this motel, however the pool was closed for winter and it was on 3rd April, could have at least kept it open for easter weekend.
• Susan (8/5): Amazing staff, comfortable bed & great location - Good parking, comfortable bed, spacious unit Security light outside my unit, shining through Venetian blind.
• Alan (8/5): -
• Soraya Ormandy (10/5): - Being out the back away from the road
• chris (9/5): -
• Elena (10/5): I would recommend this place! - The property location was very convenient for us, and only a 10-minute walk to town centre. The staff were friendly and the unit was clean and well-stocked. They also had laundry facilities which came in very handy.
• Tony (9/5): -
• 开口笑 (10/5): 房子宽敞，设备起全，卫生整洁，卫生间维护好。推荐 - 谢谢女主人的热情接待。临晨寄放行李也非常方便，你只需要按按铃，主人随时可以为你服务。还会给你讲解她们家自备的精美旅行地图。最后谢谢女主人给我落在客房的手机。

• MILAN (9/5): -
• Samuel (8/5): -
• Roger O'Donoghue (6/5): - Nice views.Room was spacious. Car parking was very tight. Had to get other people to move their cars out of the way at one point. Hot water jug was full of some growth so did not make coffee or use it. Little bit dated. Silicone in bathroom full of mold looked dirty. Value for money was just not there. Different colored tiles here and there. Grout in bathroom looked very aged..TV was small. Had Sky sports but not much else.

• Linda (9/5): Enjoy the relaxed vibes here all easily within walking distance then get your seafood on the way to the seal colony. We - Friendly and helpful staff here, and the swimming pool is excellent. It’s an easy walk to restaurants and shops. The town is right on the beach and it’s a lovely walk. We hired e-bikes from the bike shop in town and rode both ways along the coastal path. It was beautiful. The Bbq Seafood Van is a must! Choose your crayfish and it’s cooked to perfection, served with rice, salad and garlic bread. We went back for a Scallop Sandwich and gelato and coffee from the van next door! Perfect 😁
