Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great view. Lovely and clean. Very comfortable stay
The water pressure in the shower was quite low.
We loved the stay at the Peninsula Kaikoura Motel. It was exceptionally clean. 6-stars for cleaning. Quiet location. Good views. Value for money. This will be a Motel we happily return. THANK YOU.
Very clean and comfortable
The property was clean, warm, and comfy. It had great amenities, and was a lovely size.
最让我惊喜的是房间看海景的窗户,每天打开落地窗就是雪山和海景!实在太棒了!
The motel is in a lovely quiet area of Kaikoura, where you have easy access to lovely coastal walks. Also over the road from the Pier Hotel for a drink and dinner
Nothing
Super location, comfortable, clean and well-equipped room, spacious bathroom. Close to nice walks and beautiful views. Just opposite the Pier Hotel for a nice pub dinner, coffee or a drink.
The mattresses were a bit too firm for us liking but that's personal preference.
I didn't have any breakfast. Not required. Great motel in all ways. Will stay again 😀
Always my first choice in Kaikoura
It was relatively inexpensive. It is close to the wharf and a pub. On check in it was made clear that this was a basic room and that we could upgrade.
The room was tucked into the back of the property, and had only the basic facilities. The more expensive rooms were better appointed and located. It was too far from town to walk there.
overall, i enjoyed staying here, the place is nice, also near the beaches, the view near the motel was stunning

Personnel très sympa. Logement propre et bien équipée. Très bon rapport qualité/prix
Excellent location. Friendly and helpful staff. Got upgraded to a bigger room which was great.
Pillows could be softer.
Barbara and Anthony are very friendly. We arrived late, and check-in was easy. The room is very clean and comfortable. The hot shower was excellent, and we had a good night’s sleep. Highly recommended!
None
The host introduced to us everything we need or we might be interested in the town , including where to eat, where to hike, where to find seals, etc., it is so warm hearted.
This property was in a great location towards the end of the peninsula and near the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway and Kaikoura Seal Colony - the historic Pier Hotel was also just across the road.
It was disappointing that our unit didn't have a sea view.
Its location, really lovely hosts This is probably the best motel we have ever stayed in
A minor thing- the mattress was a bit hard to sleep on
Although our unit was small, it was well appointed and perfect for an overnight stay.
Everything
Having to leave so soon
Gut ausgestattete Küche, sauberes Objekt, Parkplatz vor dem Apartment, Kundenservice war gut.
Blick auf die Straße und nicht auf das Meer, nur 3 Apartments haben Blick aufs Meer, Nur ein Hotelrestaurant in der Nähe, fußläufig, für Einkäufe benötigt man ein Fahrzeug.
Great location south of the busy town centre. Across the road from walking along the seafront. Very clean and well set up road level unit.
Nothing.
Clean, great size room
Clean and tidy accommodation. Staff particularly helpful with recomendatoons
Ausstattung etwas in die Jahre gekommen
Quiet and comfortable room.
Outdoor areas were a bit run down and shabby looking, comfortable seating outdoors and a good tidy up would improve first impressions.
Very clean and comfortable. Modern decor , looks recently renovated, great shower etc . Perfect for a short stay
Nothing
So easy and uncomplicated to stay here. Very friendly welcome and during stay.. easy access to pier hotel and waterfront. Walking was great and flat as. A drive into main shops 4 mins. Plenty of cutlery etc. Not just 2 of everything. Big shower.
Nothing really.
Great location and staff, many thanks
Friendly staff and comfortable stay !
Was up to date motel with thought put into your stay by the owners. Very comfortable .. was a little out from central district which suits us .. recommended ..
Non technical visitors might find tv a little complicated but if you can drive it .. excellent ..
Very clean and a great quiet location close to Point Kean
A dripping shower tap
Just across from the ocean, a short distance from seal colony and historic pub. Friendly Host.
Shower a bit tight.
The location and view. Proximity to the Pier Hotel.
We arrived early and clearly interrupted the owner's lunch. We had a paid booking so were sent away until official afternoon opening time. The facility still had their vacancies sign showing, so we do wonder if the reception would have been the same if we were seeking a unit.

Large clean rooms with all kitchen appliances in a great location managed by a friendly professional family Close to all the tourists attractions
All good
Everything!! We can’t wait to come back such a beautiful place
Ummm that we didn’t stay longer haha !!
We were happy with the location at the quieter end of town. The room was very clean & we had a nice view from our room #5 across the bay over to the mountains.
No complaints.
Location is amazing. Room is comftable and clean exactly what you need for this area with easy parking.
Bathroom window was left open with that door then to the bedoor open. The light was also on so when we arrived about 2am after the late ferry there where a lot fo bugs to kill. Not really a huge issue but effort, this was mentioned to the staff the next day and got a lovely email how they'll implement policy in the future to make sure this doesnt happen but worth mentioning.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly and informative host
Was looking forward to some Netflix but it was very slow to download and kept freezing.
Walking distance to the cliff walk. A drive to town but a few eating places in walking distance. Place was clean. Could use a skillet/frying pan in the cabinet. Appreciated the coffee tea and milk.
Location was great
The bed was very hard and the air con didn’t work
Super clean comfortable
Nothing
Friendly owners and a great location.
Room was clean but a bit dated.
Prima motel met ruime comfortabele kamers en praktische voorzieningen en het restaurant van het hotel aan de overkant (The Pier Hotel) was erg goed.
One kamer lag wel direct aan de weg en we hadden geen uitzicht op de zee.
Beautiful view of the mountains. Awesome restaurant less than 2 minute walk. Quiet night.
Everything was great
Staff very friendly and informative, good location, very warm, clean and tidy.

Really great place to stay in Kaikoura, walking distance to everything u need: to the center, to the seal colony.... Room was nice and tidy, comfy beds There is a place to park your car
Shower is not comfy to use
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, sauber und angenehm sowie toll ausgestattet - wir waren begeistert.
Die Lage ist außerhalb des Zentrums.
Well located, clean and well appointed
Nothing!
Friendly and perfect for our overnight 3
Good views of the bay (apt 7), friendly helpful staff, useful info on whale watching trip from Alex - there were tickets available on the day even tho all the agents seemed to say it was fully booked. Clean apartment, everything worked. A little out of town but nearer to cliff for great walk and seals.
The lack of a proper duvet cover was v strange and, in my opinion, rather unhygienic.
Appart impeccable, parking juste devant, accueil sympa. Et les otaries sont à deux petits kilomètres
Ras
It was very convenient for our weekend event.
No conditioner for your hair in the shower.
Slightly elevated so it might have been possible to get a sea view. Quite clean and tidy.
Slightly elevated so it might have been possible to get a sea view if it wasn’t taken by a better positioned unit. We had the air conditioning unit straight out the bathroom window - unfortunately it was cooling the better positioned unit. We only got the noise, next door got the cooling. Only an ineffective cooler in our unit.
So spacious!
Petit appartement bien équipé, bien situé.
Perfect and so close to seal colony areas. Friendly owners.
Nothing.
Excellent location. Spacious clean and well equiped.

Mooi en goed ingericht appartement met 2 slaapkamers. ingerichte keuken en uitzicht op zee. Super vriendelijke eigenaar. Hielp ons met de gevangen kreeft te koken op de buiten keuken. Komen hier erg graag weer
Het weer zat wat tegen maar daar kan je niks aan doen. De accommodatie is super.
Beds were very comfortable. Welcoming host. TV and internet were great for when it rained.
Exactly what you’d expect for a lovely stay in Kaikoura.
Prima Unterkunft!
Wir hatten leider nur Regen, aber da kann die Unterkunft nichts für.:)
Le bon emplacement, le calme, l'espace et le confort La disponibilité du propriétaire qui nous a donné les informations
Nice outlook and balcony to enjoy, super clean, lady owner and staff very friendly, close to everything but not in the middle of town- quieter, Reasonably priced, great communication and flexible All in all a really great spot to stay Thank you
A little shade screen/some partial privacy screen between units on the balcony would have been nice
A friendly welcome Offered an upgrade
Not much Perhaps a linen shower mat
Clean, comfortable, great location. Good value for money. Helpful and informative check in
