Lovely place. Really comfy. Nice location and even though it was on highway1 was still quiet. Lovely bed and a shower you didn’t want to get out of.

Stop over
We arrived earlier than the 14.00 hours booking in time. I politely asked if it was possible to take the room earlier. If it had not been possible I would have accepted the decision. The key was handed over and I paid. The lady in question did not present a welcoming demeanour that I have seen in the other properties I have stayed in.
Points of issue with Room 18:
1. Heater in bathroom does not work
2. Shower head leaks
3. Sink needs attention due to not emptying quick enough

Spiders inside and no table and one chair. Only a desk with TV on it. My wife had to sit on the bed to eat her meals . It needs a bit of maintenance and outside our door was a little tunnel. Spiders everywhere in it.

A basic motel in Kaikoura
A basic motel. It served the purpose for a 1 night stay. Could do with some updates. It was noisy.
