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!

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
