A recommended motel
Very happy with all aspects of our stay. Very friendly staff and easy to talk to. Good location for walks to town or the peninsula to see the seals.
Thoroughly clean unit with a large bathroom including very useful mirrors.

The room and location was actually really nice. Lovely outlook and quiet area. However our unit (number 9) was directly underneath the living quarters of the owners/operators. There were signs everywhere telling us what type of parties were not allowed the irony being that we were kept away ourselves but what was happening upstairs. We have been on the road for a month touring and working every night and sleep is paramount. Despite the lovely room none of us got a good sleep. They were up late talking and all walking above could be heard loudly in our rooms. Then they were making noise from 7:45 am and we were all woken early. Terrible sleep. Lovely spot but either sound proof it, don’t make noise when people are in it or don’t rent it out. Disappointed and fatigued as a result of staying here. Sure the other rooms are great.

Very clean and tidy. Staff were awesome, friendly and informative during check-in.
One of the best priced motels we could find in Kaikoura. Will definitely book again if we’re down this way.

Barbara, the owner of the property is the personification of hospitality. She was kind enough to allow us to drop off our bags earlier. She even gave us a lift to the supermarket! So kind! She even offered to drop us off at the bus stop but we wanted to walk. We can’t think of anything that the hotel didn’t have that was not provided to us. Would definitely stay here again.

Seaside comfort.
Excellent motel room that was a large room with good amenities. The room, however, did not have the view that was shown and has buildings opposite it blocking the view. Very handy to the seals and good pub.

Wonderful little place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Our room for 3 had the loveliest view from the patio and everything was sparkling clean. It was easy to park and just a bit down the road from town in the car. We definitely stay here again!

Paid cash ,no receipt until we asked for one the next morning, He had forgotten about it so we were lucky not to get charged again on our credit card.

We had a very comfortable stay with the most fabulous view of the snowy alps above Kaikoura. Very handy to The Pier Hotel for dinner and close to the Penisula Seal Colony which was a lovely walk. Barbara was very helpful and we will stay again.
