Visiting from Australia. Situated with front views of snow capped mountains, we were doubly impressed to be given a room at the rear of the motel with uninterrupted views of the ocean. Wow wherever you look! The Aspen Court is modern and fresh with great facilities - and a very comfortable bed. All spotlessly clean. The hosts - relatively new... More

We stayed here for a night and booked it last minute. The guy at check in was warm and friendly and took the time to explain where the attractions are in town - had this not have happened we would have missed the seal pup colony. Thankyou!! The rooms are roomy with great decor. The shower was a treat and... More

I stayed in a sea view room for two nights while in Kaikoura for whale watching. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable, the bed especially so. Amazing steam shower in the bathroom. Free wifi was appreciated. This motel is easy to find at the north end of the town, several minutes drive from the town centre but close... More

We stayed here for a night to go whale watching. We turned up rather early but we were allowed to check in. The room was very comfortable, with good heating which was needed on that occasion. The bathroom also had under floor heating. Everything was clean. The shower was very good. We had complimentary wi-fi as well. The front desk... More

A very comfortable stay - large room with large glass door at one end onto the courtyard and door on to the car park at the other. Very friendly staff. Continental or cooked breakfast available, delivered to your room. Bit of a walk from the whale watching but almost next door to a supermarket.

I booked due to excellent tripadvisor reviews but was very disappointed. Service. The guy on the front desk appeared to be just going through the motions and was not at all interested when I said our room smelt stale. His reply was that their is no smoking in any hotel room in NZ. Value. I paid £90 odd pounds excluding... More

i needed to check in really(!) late and the staff there made sure to remember my late night arrival and have everything set up for me just as they promised. i am extremely appreciative of this. they rooms are modern, clean, and very attractive. they also have free (yay!) internet and a guest computer in the lobby. all in all,...

Room was good as were the room facilities. Bed was king size and was comfortable as were the pillows. Shower unit was something special with more features than Dr Who's Tardis but suggest you read the brochure on how to use it before you get in. It might save you the embarrassment of setting off the alarm or getting a... More

I got the best sleep of my whole entire trip at this motel! Super comfy king size beds and fancy spaceship-like showers that have jets and steam, I loved it here. Owners were super friendly and helpful and we got what I thought was great value (we stayed in April). Would very highly recommend this place, it's a tiny bit... More
