Wonder ful service on check in. Units are very clean & tidy. Love how NZers recycle! Bed was a bit saggy - but otherwise all facilities were great.
Peter
This is an older building complex, but has excellent comfort and room facilities with a good size lounge room, kitchen and bedroom all very clean and well presented.
A family type management was friendly.
The location is away from the main part of town, but walkable and could be a positive if you want a quieter stay.

John
A Genuinely Lovely Motel.
Absolutely perfect stay.
From the friendly and helpful staff to the spick and span unit.
Excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds.
We loved our brief stay here.
The units are fully equipped for meal prep and the New World Supermarket is 200m away. Town is a really pleasant 1.5km walk.
The property has direct access to the beach and coastal walking track, the train line is adjacent for train spotting.
On site laundry for a very reasonable price. Picnic tables tables for alfresco dining.
Don’t change a thing !

Great motel, spotlessly clean. Lovely rooms, beach access. Owners very helpful.
Damiano
Great property, clean and with all the comfort
Janik
The room was nice, nothing super fancy but the kitchenette had all you would need. The location is nice, you can't see the ocean but it is a very short walk to the beach (across the seemingly rarely used train tracks). It is 1-2 km from the center of town. Overall, very good value!
John
Friendly and helpful staff.
Alan
Great place ..excellent..... would recommend
Rebecca
We had a great stay here! The gent ar the front counter was really helpful. The room was spotless and really comfortable. It was a cold night but the heaters kept us warm. Great private access to the beach, keep in mind you will hve to cross rail tracks.
Andrew
I had a great night sleep here. Very helpful owner. Great beds, clean, easy access to the beach, close to town, grocery store nearby.
This is a top of the line place to stay for a roadside motel.

Fantastic location, just a literal skip over the train tracks and you’re on the beach! Everything was pristine in the room, very comfortable. Quick drive into town with tons of shopping and food options. The seal colony nearby was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend the Alpine View for a lovely stay!

Jane
Lovely owners, and the unit was simple, well maintained and clean. A fantastic position right near the beach, just across the railway line.
Alison
Very quiet and well located for supermarket and beach walks. Adjacent to railway line but did not hear any night traffic. Pleasant sheltered garden with BBQ at rear of property was a delight in very hot weather. No heat pump aircon but fan cooler did the trick.
alisa
Alpine View is the bomb! For our short stay at Alpine, it delivered over and above! Excellent location - understatement! Backing onto Tahuna Campgrounds, we stayed at the back of the complex overlooking the campsite. Using the back alleyway, our kids had the best amenities! Free tractor rides! Playground! Mini golf and pedal carts we hired each day! The camp site has amazing grounds to walk through, mega swing and flying fox! Cafe at the doorstep. A footpath takes you through the park grounds and onto the beach, amazing beach walks and dinner dates on the beach! Kids paradise, not needing the pool. Alpine is friendly, clean, comfortable, just a chilled stay! Coupled with kids movies, comfy beds and clean bathroom and kitchen - it’s the place to stay!
Jack
Friendly and welcoming. Thank you
Brent
1 night in Kaikoura
Great to be back for 2024, top service as always
Bernadine
Comfortable, easy access to beach , lovely owners
Errij
The room quite big, clean and tidy. The only negative thing the room doesn't have an aircon but they provide a fan. We only stay for a nite, so not really a big deal. Other than that it was lovely to stay here.
Calvin
Highly recommended
Conveniently located and a beautiful beach behind the hotel. Greeted by very pleasant hotel staff at check in.
Janai
Great spot for all things Kaikoura
The place worked out great. It had comfortable beds, good heat on a cold rainy day, right next to the ocean and parking right outside our door. We didn't have any issues hearing neighbors, just the train that went by a few times at night. But it was perfect for being close to our tour with The Dolphin Encounter. I would stay there again and recommend to anyone needing a place to stay.
Cynthia
Excellent place to stay, clean and tidy, beds and pillows were comfortable. Easy accessible walkway to the beach. My 2nd time staying and will definitely be back again 😊
