Top Kaikōura Hotel Reviews

Kaikoura Motor Inn

Kaikoura Motor Inn

6/10 Okay
"The unit was clean and tidy and had good heating. The bathroom was small but functional, although a large person would have trouble accessing the shower as the door opening is small - good hot water. The kitchen had exactly 2 of everything (2 knives, 2 forks, 2 plates, 2 spoons, 2 cups etc) which meant we had to constantly wash and dry dishes for the next meal. Toaster and electric jug were new. We had trouble with the TV (which was too large for the room), and could only get it to work if we streamed through our own TV apps. It was quiet and peaceful. Wonderful sunset and view over farmland. At night a great view of the stars."
