Oh my gosh where do I begin. The bed..amazing, the pillow, wanted to steal it. The hostess was incredibly friendly. The room was perfect. I wanted the sea view and a bath and we got both. The views are incredible and the room was so comfortable with everything we needed. Thank you so very much for accommodating us and we definitely will be back. Stay here, you won't regret it.

Roomy units with great views and maintained to high standard. Very clean etc. Personable genuine service. Not cheap but worth the cost. If we are back this way will return and will advise others to use it.

The whole product was high quality. We had executive sea view room. High ceilings, large room, excellent bathroom, good kitchenette and fridge, comfortable sofa, bed superb, directly across road from sea, nice view, good parking. Comfortable and enjoyable stay. Only negative was slightly weak wifi and a clunky wifi system but this was minor. I would recommend this motel in Kaikoura.

We booked for three nights over the New Year period. What a great place to stay. Lovely and quiet, great views out between the trees. The red pohutukawas against the mountains and the sea in its various moods were awesome. The motel was very clean and beautifully maintained. Worth every dollar - thoroughly recommended.
