1 night stay. Booked delux king studio. We were put in an accessable unit. Would have appreciated being asked first. It was fully booked, do we didn't question it. Maybe it should be checked.

Perfect location in Kaikoura
This was a super-nice really well-run family-owned motel. I had a beautiful second-floor suite with Eve I needed, kitchen-wise and everything else-wise. Location was fabulous. I was on foot (came by train) so 12-minute walk from train station (which is adjacent to departure point for Whale Watching Kaikōura). Close to the major supermarket on the north edge of time and ditto for downtown. 15-minute walk to Dolphin Encounter meeting spot.

Nice Place
Beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony. Very close to the Whale Watch cruise. The room was very comfortable and had cute whale decor. The only complaint I had was that it was next to a busy road and had a lot of noisy trucks.

We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly and helpful host, and appreciated his help with a suitcase up the stairs. Also the rooms were SPOTLESS, spacious, and comfortable. Nothing was a bother for him, to show us how the tv worked, change the towels, or top up the tea, coffee etc. Many thanks to their team.

This is the second time my daughter and I have stayed here, we both found the beds very comfortable and it was nice having a TV with Netflix in both the bedrooms. The place is very clean and well equipped. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Kaikoura.
