Top Kaikōura Hotel Reviews

Mondello Kaikoura

10/10 Excellent

"Staff helpful room spotless easy walking to town for food etc"

Sudima Kaikoura

8/10 Good

"We booked a balcony room with an ocean view. It was very nice. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the shower had no door and was very dark and the lighting in the bathroom was also very dark. They do have a gym, but it is very small. Also the gym does not have water or heavy weights. I believe the heaviest is 25 kg. No barbells at all. Luckily it was just me in there both mornings or else it would be too many people! The pool was lovely and heated and not to be missed. The breakfast was average. The oatmeal was almost soup and the hard-boiled eggs were overcooked. However they had delicious hard cheese and a juicer. You will be fed and find something. The happy hour for beer was a bit of a rip off because they "discount" the Heineken but then also serve it in a smaller glass, so it is actually more expensive! The food for dinner was decent enough and worth eating a meal there. The location is fantastic and a 10 minute walk to the town center or a 40 minute walk to the seal beach. There are places to stop on the way there and excellent grilled seafood for lunch if you take that (recommended) walk. It was a solid hotel overall."

Sierra Beachfront Motel

8/10 Good

"While it is an older motel It is clean and has all the amenities you require. It is value for money to put your head down for the night with good choice of food places not far down the road to choose from if you wish to support local eatery business (the thai shop was good!) or a little further for the supermarket for the more budget conscious traveller"
