Kaikoura Beach Motel

Amazing one-bedroom apartment. Comfortable couch, full dining table, and amazing bed. The sea is right out your door. Short walk into the town centre and a comfortable walk out to the seal colony. We will be back for sure.

We recently stayed at Kaikoura Beach Motel and found it to be a convenient and efficient choice for our short visit. Although the rooms are not overly spacious, they are adequately sized, comfortable, and maintained with a high standard of cleanliness. The ability to park directly in front of our room was a significant convenience, especially when returning after a day of sightseeing. One of the standout features was the streamlined check-in and checkout process, which was handled entirely via email and in-room information, eliminating the need to visit the reception. This was particularly appreciated and made our stay smooth and hassle-free. Overall, Kaikoura Beach Motel offers a practical and pleasant stay, especially for travelers looking for simplicity and efficiency in their accommodations.

Right at the centre of activities and a few minutes walk to the beach. Across the road. Tours (like Dolphin Encounter is just a block away), restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops is just several meters away. No need to drive. Poppy was very helpful to rearrange my booking. The place is pretty quiet and it has a common kitchen which is very convenient. Felt safe in the area.

The location was fantastic, right opposite the beach. We could see the sunrise and take a walk in the cool breeze early in the morning. The place was also close to the main shopping strip and restaurants. Main attractions were also easy to get to. The beds were clean and firm which we loved. The bathroom facilities was also fantastic and the showerhead was really great for easing sore musles at the end of the night.

The apartment was lovely, very clean, modern, comfortable, newly refurbished. Location was good, opposite the beach and not too far to walk into town. Easy check in and out - I was able to store my luggage for the day when I left and Michele very kindly gave me a lift to the bus stop to save me walking with my case in the heat.
