New modern hotel with a mainly neutral colour scheme. Reasonable amount of parking on site, or plenty along the Esplanade. Rooms average size. We went as a group so we had no choice, many of us ended up in rooms with twin beds, they are very comfortable but when you share your bed with your spouse, this wasn't expected nor enjoyed. No electric blankets. It's the middle of winter. I did phone reception 3 times over a couple of issues but the calls were never answered. The rooms heat pump is good, though no heating in the corridor and reception is rather cool too. Tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. Glasses, but no wine glasses in the rooms. Good sized bathroom and good shower. They only provide one hard club chair, seating for anyone else there's a round squab or the bed. Most of the signs are in Maori, only one in our large group could understand a few words. The large group of Asians also staying had no idea of what anything meant. Excellent staff. Helpful and friendly. Uniforms a little casual for this level of hotel. Catering for large groups can often be a challenge, the food offered suited all tastes and was very good. Good cocktail menu. I don't drink much, but really enjoy an Aussie Shiraz, but they only stock NZ wines. Just meant I drank water. The hotel is sited down the south end of the Esplanade, so a bit of a walk to the township. Good, modern, clean, quiet 4.5 star hotel.

Ideal location if you're arriving by bus and don't have a car, about a 9-10 minute walk on the flat from the Intercity bus stop, and a shorter distance back to the beach. All the units have a view of the mountains, and at the end of the complex is some farmland with the most incredible sunset views. I was given unit 5 which was one of 2 fully accessible units on the ground floor (I didn't specifically request it) including a proper wet area shower and it would be ideal for anyone with mobility problems. A very comfy bed, and nice to have some softer (and not so massively high) pillows that seem to be the norm everywhere now. Very tidy, heat pump worked well overnight, and the only noise was some people in the neighbouring unit arriving back. Certainly didn't need earplugs. The hosts were wonderful, very welcoming and very helpful with local information (many thanks for the tips about where to get good photos!)

Being on a road trip for 6 weeks in New Zealand, after a day’s drive, we arrived for a 2 night stay, ready to settle in and relax. Unfortunately, there was an error with our reservation - we booked 2 nights, but they had us for only 1 night and it was the busy Easter weekend. Our reservation was made 11 mos before and they immediately acknowledged their error and upgraded us to the only room left, a beachfront apartment! They were kind, courteous and definitely owned up to their error. The room was great, clean, wonderful location and best of all, a very comfortable bed and amazing recliners to sit and watch the ocean from our patio doors! Would highly recommend and was grateful for the wonderful service.

Only down fall was there was a terrible smell in unit which i did tell office in morning and the seemed to think it was from the people before us, seemed worse on returning at night after unit had been closed up for a couple of hours. Our unit had a lovely upstairs balcony with sea / street views, and staff all were very friendly

The hotel is right by the lake, the conditions and facilities are wrong, and the service is good. My English is not good. The local guide I found Zhang Jiahao led the chartered car. It was very worry-free, the service was attentive, and the explanation was meticulous; the driving was smooth, highly recommended

We stayed upstairs in main lodge and had great views over the sea. Small deck off room was great for an evening cocktail. Roams are cozy, but comfortable and nicely remodeled in a modern style. Perfect location along the esplanade and easy walk to town or restaurants. Not sure if they have all new staff or what but they were not knowledgeable about much of anything. We paid for the continental breakfast- don’t bother. Questionable at best and worst of our trip. They had huge espresso machines(part of the bar) but the gal setting out breakfast said she didn’t know how to use it. She brewed a pot of coffee. No fresh fruit or pastries, croissants, etc. Just dry cereal with canned fruit and yogurt.

This is a quite clean, and nicely appointed motel style place, with a quite big room, patio doors to an inside courtyard that seemed inviting, even had a barbeque spot in back.. There was also a door to the back by which we could leave our car and made for easy transfers. The Lobby had several added things like coffee and some games, but was closed at 8PM as I recall. The manager was friendly and helpful in directing us to close restaurants, and how to get downtown and what was of interest there.. The hotel is on the main highway and backs onto the ocean, but the problem was location, it is quite a ways out of town, so seemingly only one restaurant close by--if it were better positioned it would certainly merit 5 stars.

5/5Perfect

This motel is perfect, it is such a great location and unit was so comfortable. You are across the road from south bay beach, it is so tranquil here compared to the town centre and it's lovely to walk up to the jetties and up to the headland. We had a very friendly welcome and it was a nice touch as part of check in that we were shown around our unit explaining how things worked and where to find things. The unit was well equipped, comfy bed and a powerful shower. They also have a wonderfully friendly little cat. The only negative was the wifi which kept on cutting out, probably as we were in one of the furthest units from the office and also when all units occupied so everyone using it, but we managed OK using cellular data. We had a lovely holiday here and highly recommend it as a place to stay in Kaikoura.
