Good location and amenities
small but very clean, the beds was super comfy, the small kitchenette had everything we needed for the one night we were there (no oven, but a microwave). If you were going to be staying 2 nights +, then a bigger room would be better as there was only one chair for sitting on, no table.
Comfortable bed and good value for what we paid.
The shower was for wheelchair users and even with the curtain closed the water went all over the floor and to the toilet.
Shower door couldn't close it while showering
Kid friendly,amazing view of snow and beach
Good location. Clean. Lovely staff. Good value
Nice tidy place, great price.

They had a lovely warm room ready for me at short notice. Enough parking, as they were full that night and a choice of milks! Lovely strong pressure shower.
The shower door didn't quite shut firmly, which let a bit of water leak out onto the floor and bath mat, which is a very minor issue.
Within walking distance from the bus depot.
The unit was clean and functional and good for a one night stay
The service was unpersonal
very convenient. Comfy bed. Kitchen. The beautiful pussy cat.
no complaints
Spa was good, location good
Clean tidy and helpful owner
Good location , everything you need in a room and comfortable bed
Nothing to dislike
Nice walking distance to town, good value at the price we paid, spacious bathroom
Shower lost hot water didnt have anymore until the morning, bit of road noise to be expected, if you like a soft bed your in luck
The bed was comfy and unit is clean and tidy.
I thought it was walking distance to central.
Warm
Ltd cooking facilities and a ban on cooking fish!
Prima appartement.
Ietwat geluid van auto's op de achtergrond
Convenient location, comfortable, clean & quiet.

I asked for a bath because I’d just rolled my ankle two nights ago before staying and they said they had a room with one but then when I arrived it was a shower. Which is fine but sore to stand on and wasn’t what I expected.
Clean and comfortable, the resident cats were cute
After staying in multiple other Bella Vista properties this one wasn’t as well equipped - no electric blankets, nothing to cook with etc and also didn’t seem as well maintained
Hot tub
Cooking facilities were very basic and not really suitable for cooking a decent meal Heating was basic Generally needs an update for the price No rubbish bag in the bin
Booked the Compact Studio Room. Good option for a solo traveller. Some NZ motels can be cold and drafty in winter, but this room was so cosy and warm, I had a good night's sleep in a comfy bed and didn't freeze! Super-hot water pressure in the bathroom shower too. Room has standard amenities inc. fridge/freezer, microwave, and basic utensils like cutlery and plates.
The location was great, walking distance to town. Room was lovely warm & the best was really comfy.
All I want to say is everything was as good as anywhere - but the motel is on the main road and big trucks seem to pass through at any hour so it can be a bit noisy at night. Not enough to bother anybody, but may be a problem for a light. Sleeper.
Won’t let me finish
First time arriving with GPS show short cut but to different location. After resetting, hotel is found with ease. It's on main road highway but very quiet when in room
All is gd
This was a perfect place for our overnight stay in Kaikoura. It was clean, comfortable and so close to town.
The apartment was spacious, had everything we needed in it, and the bathroom was a good size and clean. Free WiFi and on-site parking. Good location
There was a very strong smell of mold/damp in the room, we couldnt see or find where it was coming from but was noticeable the second we opened the door. We didnt find the bed or the pillows comfortable at all. The road noise from outside was loud, even though the motel is close to the main road, it still seemed exceptionally loud and was pretty annoying during the night!
Host was very friendly - facilities as expected for a Bella Vista. Safe & quiet.
Bed was a bit old & tired. Not every supportive
Lovely unit. Had everything that we needed. Excellent value for money. Visited by a very friendly cat in the morning!!
Nothing
everything was very good thanks, right down to the owners very friendly cat.
all very good thanks.
Beds were comfortable. It was on a busy highway but we had a quiet room so road noise was minimal. Easy walking to town centre
Comfy bed, Sunny, Warm, Good range of drinks,
Some of towels were off white. Toilet could have been less stained
Quiet location. Ample space in room. Easy walk to Main Street .

Cleanliness and price
It was fine
Well-appointed room, clean and comfortable with good facilities. Enough kitchen facilities to cook some basic meals. Lovely clean bathroom. Room was light and airy
Only downside was being close to the main road so a lot of traffic noise overnight but not a major issue
Tutto ok
Lage prima, Personal freundlich und zuvorkommend, Zimmer sauber. Für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise sehr empfehlenswert
Accomodation was immaculately presented and the staff throughout were very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble The location was perfect and the view was fantastic Restaurant was also very good
We could not fault this place at all, wish we had stayed longer, this was the accomodation highlight of our month's trip to NZ
Easy to find on main road. Parking outside unit. Clean. Comfortable large bed. Jetted bath. Nice selection of teas and coffee.
On main road so there was some expected traffic noise.
Good location and clean and tidy great for a one night stay
Clean and tidy, well presented
The walls are quite thin. - could hear people talking in next room.
Suited our needs we arrived late but everyone was accomodating
As advertised, clean,roomy and good location
The room was fine for a 2 night stay.
There was some road noise as the property is located on a major North-South road. The noise stopped though after 10pm
Good location and quiet surroundings . Free to use washing machine and dryer
Carrying the cases up a flight of stairs. But not too bad
Plenty of amenities
Bed was a little hard
Good location
Great location, easy walk to town and attractions. Quiet rooms removed our anxiety about passing traffic.
Beds a bit too soft
Kaikoura is a terrific coastal township and the Bella Vista Motel was a pleasant motel but not near the beachfront. It is on the busy main road but the traffic noise wasn’t too bad inside the room. It was very clean and had a very clever small kitchen set up. The heater was very handy during the night. Reception staff were very pleasant and friendly.

Excellent value
The Owners/staff were very pleasant. I personally loved the animals who live at the Motel 😁. Would definitely stay again. Very clean and easy walk to the township.
