Kellie-ann
Fantastic place to stay, super super clean with everything you need. Love it and will stay again xxxx
Tim
Uncomfortable bed and terrible pillows
Jamie
Was welcomed by a very warm, friendly and helpful host. Nothing was too much bother to her. Room was clean, tidy and very comfortable with great views looking out to sea and also the Southern Alps when sitting outside on the patio. Huge ups to the on site laundry facilities at NO charge, that was brilliant.
Anna
Lovely views of the ocean and walk to the restaurants
Tracey
We were in apartment 10 and it had a gorgeous view off the beach, mountains and sunrise. Good location. Bed was ultra comfortable and everything adequate. Very small area for toilet, it was a pain and don’t think you should have to walk your rubbish to the next door property at that price😊
Kate
Beautifully refurbished property right opposite the beach and a short walk into town
Barrie
Kaikoura was one of the most memorable stops on our New Zealand trip. The snow capped mountains over the sea are absolutely stunning. The staff at Kaikoura Beach motel were so friendly and communicative. We were traveling by train without a car so we opted to rent their bicycles to explore the coastline and the seal colony. They offered to store our luggage so we could optimize our time and resources. We had one of the most beautiful and memorable days pedaling along the coast. From the hotel, you can walk across the street to take advantage of the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. One thing we learned is that although our advance research indicated there were Ubers available in Kaikoura, once we arrived we found that there were no Ubers in the area and no taxis waiting at the train station. We had no idea who to call and ended up walking to the motel which is not a bad walk as long as you aren’t lugging heavy suitcases (which we were). Contact the motel for numbers for taxi and shuttle service in advance if you are arriving by train. We used the shuttle to return to the train station. The service at Kaikoura Beach motel was definitely a solid 10 for us.

Lovely beachside location, quaint 80s style motel room renovated and well refreshed to modern standards.
Summer
This was a great little base for our kaikoura holiday. A short walk to town, great off road parking, clean and more spacious than expected. Staff were all lovely. Comfortable bed! Would recommend
Jeremy
Great location on the warerfront. Super comfy bed. Great stay.
Elspeth
Convenient quiet location. Comfortable room
Lisa
Great hotel, staff, location and overall. Really enjoyed the town.
Shelly
Room spotlessly clean! One issue; no molk! Thats no milk at all! Not even dehydrated 😩
Gillian
Clean, spacious, tastefully decorated room very close to the beach. A bit of a walk to town which was fine for us. Definitely would stay there again!
Carol
Very clean beach front motel, good size rooms. Very friendly staff, who complained to a coach company for parking right outside our apartment without us even asking. The coach company duly obliged and moved on.
Leanne
Clean spacious room, right in front of the beach, easiest check in procedure, free laundry facilities, close to everywhere, very good value for money. We will definitely come here again!
Tom
Nice update on an old fashioned motel.
Gregory
Awesome! Thanks for everything! We had a great time! We can highly recommend the Kaikōura Beach Motel!

Ray
Clean room, good bed, quick check in, great shower. Old school design but comfortable.
Karen
Very nice beach front room. Lovely modern interior. Great comfortable bed with nice linen. Walkable to main town with eating options along the way. Awesome views from the patio.
Siobhan
Clean room, great spot, loved there was a chess set out front to play.

korinna

Natalie
Great location, staff and spacious accommodation
Noelle
Love the stay here. Pity our stay was unexpectedly cut short by one night due to our flight cancellation. Poppy was accessible throughout online to ensure our smooth check in and making our stay as comfortable as possible. Her warmth truly made a difference in settling us down from the very first night in NZ!
Heather
Well located right across from the beach. Very spacious and comfortable.
Judith
We were in Room 5 next to the kitchen but there was only one - so there were queues to use the equipment and sink.
We had a lovely stay but a toaster / microwave in our room would have been lovely

nathan
very nice room, clean and has a terrific view!
Wendy
Everything was perfect. The room was freshly renovated and sparkling clean. The kitchenette and laundry were great. Management were very helpful.
Duncan
Short stroll to town centre and beach walkway
Vanessa
A great place to stay - clean and tidy and central to activities.
Alistair
Parked right outside the room. Didnt use laundry. Would have loved to have a toaster in the room instead of going to communal kitchen. Room was very clean and comfortable.
Neil
Older style motel, very comfortable, very clean. Exceptionally well priced. I will return.
Wieke
clean tidy, friendly, opposite beach.
Fiona
Quiet and clean. Great area, close to shops and restaurants. Very reasonable in price.
Diane
Good
Karyn
Stayed a few years ago and they've done it up nicely. Great bathroom reno and super comfortable bed. Ocean view from our modest room. Great base to explore the town on foot. Highly recommended and we will stay again.
Priti
Amazing
Jacquie
Loved the sea views from the unit. Could hear the waves gentle lapping sounds from inside the unit. Sunny north facing unit. Bathroom had powerful shower. Newly refurbished, comfortable beds...great nights sleep. Absolutely spotless.
Dan
Lovely clean facilities and very welcoming!
Anna
Great location and lovely to have the room warm and lit and looking inviting for when I arrived late at night, very thoughtful 🙂
Alan
Well located, quiet, adequate comfort level. I would expect a motel to have a far better equipped kitchen than simply a toaster, microwave, electric wok and sandwich press - with no pots or pans.
Brad
Top place, easy to deal with given expedias slow process with details.
Lawrence
No microwave or cooking utensils in room was a little disappointing although they were available in a common room. Not too convenient.
Joy
Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful with extra needs for an elderly family member. Having 2 bedrooms was really great. Kitchen and laundry available. We also had a view of the ocean. Close to a really great cafe.
Dani Jan
Close enough to the town centre to walk but far enough to be peaceful. Clean, well thought of, organized.
Brian
Everything was good
Michelle
When we first arrived, we were a little surprised by how compact the unit was—but that quickly changed. The space is really well appointed and turned out to be the perfect size for our stay. It was super clean, comfortable, and ideal for a one-night stopover.
We appreciated the convenience of direct check-in, and it was a lovely touch to be personally greeted by the manager when we arrived. Friendly people and a great location made for a very pleasant stay. Would happily return!

Emily
Really lovely place, wonderful staff, comfy beds, great location. Free laundry was a nice touch.
Ingrid
Lovely and warm, nice be opposite beach
Rachel
Parking right outside unit. Was able to go straight to unit as we had pre-paid and arrived at night. Bathroom was cold, but clean and freshly renovated.
Deborah
We stayed for 4 nights in the superior room with sea view. Absolutely loved it! clean, quiet, would definitely stay there again.
Yuri
Rooms are spacious, clean and good looking but if you stay in winter than consider other options. The room was generally cold and the bathroom hotrail and heating fan were both out of order, considering the vent windows that couldn't be properly shut we had 8 degrees in the morning, not really what you would expect for 200$
Alastair
Property needs to upgrade to smart 43 inch TVs
Steve
Grest for a short stay
courtesance
We love how modern the motel was, the beds were very comfortable, the amenties were thoughtful. Internet tv which helped.
David
So tidy and exceptionally clean, will stay again.
Michael
Only stayed the one night but the room was excellent, clean and comfortable and had a great view from our lounge area but that did mean that walkers could look in from the roadway.
Stephenie
Great value and close to the bowling club where we were playing.
Norm
Adequate for want i needed
Sharon
This was exactly as advertised.
Bed great, shower good.
An excellent budget place with good basic facilities.
Great little kitchen area available for all units to use - microwave, toaster, sandwich press.
Laundry facilities to use too.

Karen
Since it was raining during our entire time in Kaikoura we were bound in the 4 walls of our room. Even with the heater on it was cold. There was a fridge but no microwave. Overall the space was incovenient.
Sarah
We only had one night here but it was perfect! The room was very clean and tidy, bathroom was quite new looking and pristine. It had everything we needed. The best part was arriving to a beautifully prepared, pre-warmed room after hours of driving. Extra thanks to the thoughtful staff who gave us this lovely welcome!
Michael
Lovely clean unit with good views
Andrew
Clean and tidy. Communal kitchen but worked out fine.
Lucy
The ease of checking in and out was perfect for our fleeting visit!

Kataraina
Our room was beautifully updated and thoughtfully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Felt like a home away from home. We will be back!
Gregg
Good value for money. The veiw of the beach on a nice day is unbeatable. An older establishment but it served its purpose well. Good value for money.
John
Great oceanfront room, very clean and comfortable bed! Good amenities in the kitchenette...everything we needed for a great stay!
Jane
Great view of the ocean from our room - very clean and a great sized room
Linda
This motel is perfectly located and close to everything. As well, right across the street from the beach and the magnificent views. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. We were able to stash our bags with them upon checkout as our train was in the late afternoon. We were also taken to the train station as it would have been quite the walk with suitcases. They went above and beyond! I highly recommend this motel.
Satomi
Perfect place to stay in Kaikoura
Everything was perfect for our stay. We will stay here again next time we go to Kaikoura.
Mandy Kum Toh
Straightforward, fussfree, contactless checkin. Room is clean and has almost everything we need for a one-night stay.
Jean C.
Lovely view
Owners were very nice and our one-bedroom suite was lovely. We enjoyed the view and the spacious feel. The complimentary laundry facilities were also much appreciated.
ELIZABETH
2nd time staying here and, once again, had a fabulous stay. Conveniently located very close to the town centre and directly across the road from the beach. Such a stunning location. Very clean, large rooms with all the amenities you need. Would highly recommend.
