Beachfront location! A modern and stylish motel with spacious rooms superbly located on Kaikoura's beachfront road "The Esplanade", with the majority of rooms enjoying magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and the mighty Kaikoura ranges. Located directly across from the beach we are spoiled with beautiful sunrises, seaviews, sun, sand and the sounds of the ocean. We are within close proximity to the town center and an assortment of restaurants and food providers who cater to all! All rooms have an allocated space in our off road parking lot which is in a courtyard setting and away from prying eyes. Security cameras keep an eye on everything while you enjoy your visit. We are Pet Friendly and have rooms specifically for your furry friends to join you while enjoying your stay with us. Please contact the motel directly
