My wife and I stayed for 3 nights December 2011 and had a great time at the motel and in Kaikoura. The new owners were very friendly, helpful and made good restaurant /cafe recommendations. Our room was clean, tidy and the double-glazed windows meant we didn't notice the road traffic. The free wireless internet access was a bonus. We had... More

No sleep at all for the whole night owner is very nice and helpful but this does not make up for no sleep I want a total refund fron Jasons More

Stayed here in November 2009 whilst on honeymoon. We stayed 2 nights in Kaikoura to go whale-watching. Having not done the research on the area, and due to budget constraints we booked this hotel via Austravel. The main downside is that this hotel is a fair distance from the centre of the town in comparison to other hotels in the... More

Perfectly clean and spacious, but very old and tired. Staff largely disinterested. Located on a busy road a fair way out from town (too far to walk to town or to local eateries). The kind of place you only stay a night if you need to, passing through. More

We decided to stay one night at the Comfort Inn on our way thru Kaikoura. The rooms are very clean and in great condition. There is a fully equipped kitchen and on demand movies. We only paid $2.00 USD for internet access--which was great value. The inn is located off the highway as you enter Kaikoura. It was very quiet... More

For a motel out of the town centre this offered us immaculately clean rooms and bathroom with super, modern kitchen facilites. Very good value for a two night stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful. More

Photos imply great views. Other than the garbage cans and SR1, we had no view. Hotel refused to supply breakfast which came with our booking, and would not honour the company guarantee. Considering it was only $8 less than the Intercontinental in Wellington, it is very poor value More
