Unit was clean and dry and beds ok But property was almost derelict and should be given to the SAS for urban guerrilla warfare training I am surprised that Expedia even lists it to its clients and thus be represented by such a place Maybe Expedia needs to inspect the property.?

Very nice staff, so we stayed twice. Not a bad choice in Kaikoura. But frankly, the facilities are only about average among motels in NZ (similar price)
