Admiral Court Motel Kaikoura

Admiral Court Motel Kaikoura

4.3/522 Reviews
We stayed at the Admiral Court Motel as it was not in the busy downtown area. The place was top notch. We had a great room with a deck that looked out to the water & the mountain range in the distance (they had snow on them the next morning-no wonder it was a nippy night). The owners were friendly, the room was clean & had everything in that we required. We would certainly recommend.

Very welcoming landlady. The environment of the family hotel is super nice, facing the sea and snow-capped mountains, with green grass and beautiful flowers at the door. The breakfast made by the landlord’s wife is also rich and delicious. It is also convenient to walk to the center of town for dinner. Great!
Kaikoura Boutique Hotel

There's more choice of accommodation in Kaikoura these days, with the recent opening of the Sudima hotel. Nevertheless, we opted for this small but beautiful old hotel instead, forsaking swanky newness for period charm and the personal touch. We were not disappointed. We chose a Historic Waterfront Room for our stay - and we loved it. Sometimes, rooms in older hotels like this have compromises, because they were never built to have their own bathrooms, for example. Not so here. Our lovely spacious room had an equally spacious bathroom, all beautifully and tastefully decorated with stylish quality materials. Although the weather wasn't quite warm enough to make the most our balcony, we could still enjoy the sea view from our amazingly comfortable bed. The downstairs bar was a relaxing and friendly place to while away a little time in the afternoon over a drink. Erin, our cheerful and vivacious host, was very helpful with suggestions for dining. We were grateful also to owner Jen, who worked around our changing arrangements when Covid interfered with our original holiday dates.
Sudima Kaikoura

New modern hotel with a mainly neutral colour scheme. Reasonable amount of parking on site, or plenty along the Esplanade. Rooms average size. We went as a group so we had no choice, many of us ended up in rooms with twin beds, they are very comfortable but when you share your bed with your spouse, this wasn't expected nor enjoyed. No electric blankets. It's the middle of winter. I did phone reception 3 times over a couple of issues but the calls were never answered. The rooms heat pump is good, though no heating in the corridor and reception is rather cool too. Tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. Glasses, but no wine glasses in the rooms. Good sized bathroom and good shower. They only provide one hard club chair, seating for anyone else there's a round squab or the bed. Most of the signs are in Maori, only one in our large group could understand a few words. The large group of Asians also staying had no idea of what anything meant. Excellent staff. Helpful and friendly. Uniforms a little casual for this level of hotel. Catering for large groups can often be a challenge, the food offered suited all tastes and was very good. Good cocktail menu. I don't drink much, but really enjoy an Aussie Shiraz, but they only stock NZ wines. Just meant I drank water. The hotel is sited down the south end of the Esplanade, so a bit of a walk to the township. Good, modern, clean, quiet 4.5 star hotel.
Kakatu Retreat

Kakatu Retreat

4.4/541 Reviews
I have never slept in a garage before, however comfortable. The garage door was hidden behind a curtain, but the tracks were still on the ceiling. The positive thing was that it was very large and had 2 single beds + 1 Queen bed (all very comfortable), as well as a refrigerator. Bathroom was across the hall, not in a private area. Kitchen & living room was a shared space on the floor above (with an elevator). It was well stocked for breakfast and the area was modern and bright. It was very quiet and was in a mainly residential area. It was cool in March, so I really appreciated the electric blanket on the beds. I would recommend it for a single night's stay.

The location is relatively new, the room is quite new, the space is quite clean, and it is more comfortable. The credit card is not charged. There is a working time at the front desk. The key is returned to the key box.
