Great location. I don’t have a car so it is around 10 mins walk to city center and whale watching, 15 mins to supermarket. Close to restaurants and convenience store. Room is spacious with cooking facilities and balcony, and the water pressure is strong. Staff are friendly :) Would love to stay here again when visit Kaikoura next time.

We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

    A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

    Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

    Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.

    The rooms were immaculate, thoroughly cleaned, freshly painted with new fixtures and flooring. The rooms were bright with new lighting. The kitchenette and cooking facilities were excellent. The room faced the seaside and wasn't noisy even though the road was next to the buildings. The hospitality displayed by the hosts was very good. Having stayed in motels across New Zealand, A1 motel and apartments were the best and of very high standards.

    Room was very clean. Room was cold when we arrived but staff provided an extra heater when asked. Bathroom was good but a heater would enhance. Overall the room was value for money. Had a kitchen sink which some motels don't have and I dislike having to do dishes in the bathroom, so a definite plus.

    Motels are okay for quick stopovers but sometimes staying in a B&B is just better. Nice welcome from the host, useful tips on where to eat. Decent breakfast with friendly guests and a scary story from the host about the earthquake a few years back!
