8/10 Good

"Good roomy unit with useful dishes etc for meals - very handy New World 50m down the road. Good wifi."

Kaikoura Gateway Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Booked a 2 bedroom unit. It was great, plenty of space. This property is on a main highway but we didn't notice any noise from traffic. Would stay again."

Bendamere House Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Our welcoming host, Julie, made us feel like her personal guests. The rooms were spacious, cozy, spotlessly clean, and had a wonderful ocean view. The homemade shortbread cookies were a very nice addition to our evening balcony coffee"

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The wifi was terrible. Not sure if that's because my room was the furtherest away or it's just bad in general. The room itself was nice and the toilets and showers were good. I told them I would be late arriving and they told me where to find the key. Overall the stay was good it was just the wifi that was the issue because I wanted to work from my room so it was kind of important."

Mondello Kaikoura

Kaikōura TOP 10 Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great cabin - warm, comfortable and generally clean. There was a bit of mould in the bathroom (wetfloor) unfortunately. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The holiday park is lovely. It's a shame the pool/hot pool isn't open a bit later though, especially in the warmer weather (also a shame the hot pools are not free - $20 for 30 minutes). Close to town and affordable! Enjoyed our stay! "
