Very comfortable stay. We stayed here for a night and it was very convenient to get around. The room was spacious for 2 of us and they have coffee / tea and a kitchenette with some plates, flatware with a microwave heating up your food. The views of the mountains is so beautiful. The staff is also very friendly, helpful and pleasant. Would highly recommend

This hotel is excellent. The bed is very comfortable and the hotel is peaceful and quiet. When we arrived, our car had a flat tire, and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful. They let us borrow a car to go to New World and provided information about a repair shop. We are truly grateful for their kindness. Highly recommended!

I didn't have the opportunity to stay at the place, but I would definitely do so on a future visit to Kaikoura. The staff (I believe it's the owner) were very kind in letting my friend and me shower when we arrived in town to camp. Thank you again for your kindness and helpfulness.

Our ferry was later arriving in Picton, so we only arrived after check-in time closed. I called ahead to let them know. Response was very friendly and they left the key for us so we were able to get in. Nice, clean and comfortable stay 👌

Extremely noisy, our unit was right next to the main road, had to wear earplugs! Very dated and basic room with a huge step up into it and a tiny terrible shower. A long way from main town area. Man who greeted me at reception was very unfriendly, didn't enjoy our night here at all sorry.

Fantastic Stay!The unit was sparkling clean and very comfortable. The host, Don, was incredibly friendly and made sure our check-in was seamless, even warming up the unit and adding lights for us on a chilly night. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The location is great—close to the main road but not noisy, so it didn't affect our stay at all. There’s convenient parking right in front of the unit. Plus, it's near various attractions, making it a perfect spot for exploring. A great experience with good facilities. Highly recommend!(Some photos taken upon checking out may looks abit messy)

Nice motel to stay for your activities in the Kaikoura town center, though it’s a six minutes drive to the town center. The motel is run by a Chinese family, and all signs have Chinese translation. The room and motel has a dated feel, the rooms are of decent size, furnishing is in ok shape, bathrooms have been redone, while decent kitchen ware and accessories are provided. The interaction with the staff was decent. Ample parking spaces available, and no close by stores or restaurants in the area. Nice play area for the children as well. The sound of traffic is a bit disturbing for light sleepers as the motel is located on the main highway. Good value for money. Below is the detailed review: Location: The motel is located towards the end of settlement on the outskirts of Kaikoura, hence definitely not easily walkable to the town center. The closest restaurants are also a little far out, so everything will be based on driving. Rooms: They are a little dated with older style door and locks, old style and condition furniture, decent bed, mattress and pillows. Lamps, lights, switches, and plugs are very old. For charging only a newer extension cord has been installed in the kitchen area to power the microwave and fridge, however both devices are old and the fridge started to make weird loud noise at 2 AM so had to shut off the power which made the sound stop in few minutes. An older feel prevails through all items in the room, yet they work somehow. Bathroom: Newer fittings have been installed in the bathroom, the shower especially has modern look as well as the drawer under the sink and the hairdryer was also new. There was a separate narrow room with the toilet that also had a door. The shower cabinet had body wash and shampoo dispensers installed. Additional Facilities: There is a laundry with dated washing machines. The parking is really wide and a lot of slots are available across the entire property. The WIFI signals and speed were pretty decent. There is a children park with swings and slides in the center large green belt, which also has huge space for kids to play around. Staff: The staff who I believe are the owners are not very friendly and don’t come across as hospitable in general.
