Guest Reviews
- Louise (8/5): -
- Lum (10/5): Excellent. - I didn't have any breakfast. Not required. Great motel in all ways. Will stay again đ
- Vincent (10/5): - Always my first choice in Kaikoura
- Paulina (9/5): -
- Paul (9/5): -
- Reinhard (6/5): Inexpensive, if basic - It was relatively inexpensive. It is close to the wharf and a pub. On check in it was made clear that this was a basic room and that we could upgrade. The room was tucked into the back of the property, and had only the basic facilities. The more expensive rooms were better appointed and located. It was too far from town to walk there.
- Peter (9/5): -
- Valiant (10/5): i like it - overall, i enjoyed staying here, the place is nice, also near the beaches, the view near the motel was stunning -
- Matthias (9/5): Ruhig (Nachsaison) und zentral -

TrÚs bon rapport qualité/prix
- THAC (9/5): Nice stay - Excellent location. Friendly and helpful staff. Got upgraded to a bigger room which was great. Pillows could be softer.
- Karen (8/5): -
- Ying (10/5): Excellent - Barbara and Anthony are very friendly. We arrived late, and check-in was easy.
The room is very clean and comfortable. The hot shower was excellent, and we had a good nightâs sleep. Highly recommended! None
- Vincent (10/5): - The host introduced to us everything we need or we might be interested in the town , including where to eat, where to hike, where to find seals, etc., it is so warm hearted.
- Peter (9/5): -
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Sue (8/5): We enjoyed our brief stay at this motel which was close to the attractions that we had come to see - This property was in a great location towards the end of the peninsula and near the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway and Kaikoura Seal Colony - the historic Pier Hotel was also just across the road. It was disappointing that our unit didn't have a sea view.
- Trish (10/5): Definitely going back and would recommend to my friends - Its location, really lovely hosts
This is probably the best motel we have ever stayed in A minor thing- the mattress was a bit hard to sleep on
- Kevlin (7/5): - Although our unit was small, it was well appointed and perfect for an overnight stay.
- Max (9/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Kaikoura on a whim - Everything Having to leave so soon
- paul (9/5): Comfortable and convenient motel, with great views, and opposite the Pier Hotel. -
- Waldemar (7/5): Gut fĂŒr 1 Nacht aber nicht fĂŒr lĂ€ngere Zeit - Gut ausgestattete KĂŒche, sauberes Objekt, Parkplatz vor dem Apartment, Kundenservice war gut. Blick auf die StraĂe und nicht auf das Meer, nur 3 Apartments haben Blick aufs Meer, Nur ein Hotelrestaurant in der NĂ€he, fuĂlĂ€ufig, fĂŒr EinkĂ€ufe benötigt man ein Fahrzeug.
- Annalisa (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (Liz) (9/5): Just right for our needs. - Great location south of the busy town centre. Across the road from walking along the seafront. Very clean and well set up road level unit. Nothing.

- sandra (9/5): A very pretty nature lovers stop - So easy and uncomplicated to stay here. Very friendly welcome and during stay.. easy access to pier hotel and waterfront. Walking was great and flat as. A drive into main shops 4 mins. Plenty of cutlery etc. Not just 2 of everything. Big shower. Nothing really.
- Jane (7/5): - Quiet and comfortable room. Outdoor areas were a bit run down and shabby looking, comfortable seating outdoors and a good tidy up would improve first impressions.

- UxĂa (8/5): -
- Chew Hui (8/5): - Friendly staff and comfortable stay !

- Jenny (9/5): Great stay in a lovely location - Very clean and a great quiet location close to Point Kean A dripping shower tap
- Graham P (9/5): - Was up to date motel with thought put into your stay by the owners. Very comfortable .. was a little out from central district which suits us .. recommended .. Non technical visitors might find tv a little complicated but if you can drive it .. excellent ..
- Askwith (8/5): - The location and view. Proximity to the Pier Hotel. We arrived early and clearly interrupted the owner's lunch. We had a paid booking so were sent away until official afternoon opening time.
The facility still had their vacancies sign showing, so we do wonder if the reception would have been the same if we were seeking a unit.
- Dyanna (9/5): -
- Zavier (10/5): The most beautiful place for a short or long stay x - Everything!! We canât wait to come back such a beautiful place Ummm that we didnât stay longer haha !!

- Fagan (10/5): Best little getaway spot - Everything
- Jeff (8/5): -
- Daniel (8/5): - Location is amazing. Room is comftable and clean exactly what you need for this area with easy parking. Bathroom window was left open with that door then to the bedoor open. The light was also on so when we arrived about 2am after the late ferry there where a lot fo bugs to kill. Not really a huge issue but effort, this was mentioned to the staff the next day and got a lovely email how they'll implement policy in the future to make sure this doesnt happen but worth mentioning.
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Susan (9/5): Very pleasant - We were happy with the location at the quieter end of town. The room was very clean & we had a nice view from our room #5 across the bay over to the mountains. No complaints.
- Cath (8/5): - Clean and comfortable. Friendly and informative host Was looking forward to some Netflix but it was very slow to download and kept freezing.
- Amy (10/5): - Walking distance to the cliff walk. A drive to town but a few eating places in walking distance.
Place was clean. Could use a skillet/frying pan in the cabinet.
Appreciated the coffee tea and milk.
- Baker (8/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Super friendly clean well located perfect - Super clean comfortable Nothing

- Jim (8/5): - Friendly owners and a great location. Room was clean but a bit dated.
- Leanne (9/5): - Beautiful view of the mountains. Awesome restaurant less than 2 minute walk. Quiet night. Everything was great
- Johannes (8/5): Prima plek voor een verblijf in Kaikoura, goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en praktische voorzieningen. - Prima motel met ruime comfortabele kamers en praktische voorzieningen en het restaurant van het hotel aan de overkant (The Pier Hotel) was erg goed. One kamer lag wel direct aan de weg en we hadden geen uitzicht op de zee.
- Clare (8/5): -
- Edu (10/5): Everything was perfect! - Staff very friendly and informative, good location, very warm, clean and tidy. N/A

Room was nice and tidy, comfy beds

- Anne (10/5): A great place to stay in Kaikoura - Well located, clean and well appointed Nothing!
- Marcin (9/5): -
- Ali (9/5): Basic friendly motel with good view - Good views of the bay (apt 7), friendly helpful staff, useful info on whale watching trip from Alex - there were tickets available on the day even tho all the agents seemed to say it was fully booked. Clean apartment, everything worked. A little out of town but nearer to cliff for great walk and seals. The lack of a proper duvet cover was v strange and, in my opinion, rather unhygienic.
- Claire (10/5): - Friendly and perfect for our overnight 3
- Margaret (8/5): -
- Julien (10/5): - Appart impeccable, parking juste devant, accueil sympa.
Et les otaries sont Ă deux petits kilomĂštres Ras

- Bec (8/5): Was everything we needed for the weekend. - It was very convenient for our weekend event. No conditioner for your hair in the shower.
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Comfortable enough for a short stay. - Slightly elevated so it might have been possible to get a sea view. Quite clean and tidy. Slightly elevated so it might have been possible to get a sea view if it wasnât taken by a better positioned unit. We had the air conditioning unit straight out the bathroom window - unfortunately it was cooling the better positioned unit. We only got the noise, next door got the cooling. Only an ineffective cooler in our unit.

The room was clean and recently renovated,and all the facilties were excellent. The staff were very helpful. Nothing
