No-nonsense motel set-up super close to all the sites and attractions around Kaikoura (also conveniently close to a New World supermarket). The unit was clean, and we definitely made use of the kitchenette. The lady who checked us in (presumably Michael's wife?) was super friendly, greeted me by name when we arrived, and provided us some helpful tips and suggestions for things to do in the area. One thing to note: not sure if this is because we booked through AirBnB, but our room was not really tidied by maid service while we were out during the day, even though it was obvious someone had been through the room. Not a major detractor-- we would stay again if we found ourselves in Kaikoura.
