This was a great place to stay for one night on our drive up to Nelson. The only thing that let it down for us is that the unit we had was an upstairs one fronting the road and was very noisy - especially with trucks traveling up and down the road all through the night (and some inconsiderate drivers using their engine brakes).

Very comfortable, quiet, good facilities, pretty good view of Kaikoura mountains. Very convenient for walking to town centre and to whale watching centre. Motel is on the main highway, but in room 15, hardly noticed any noise so excellent!

I arrived about 8:30pm and a very nice woman greeted me and spent time sharing knowledge of the area. She was most helpful all around, I greatly appreciated it as a long day of driving and hiking!
