Weekend away with my daughter
This is the second time my daughter and I have stayed here, we both found the beds very comfortable and it was nice having a TV with Netflix in both the bedrooms. The place is very clean and well equipped. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Kaikoura.

Thank you Mondello for an excellent stay! We only stayed one night but would have happily stayed more. Spotlessly clean, lovely touches like cafetière coffee provided and great location. Really setting the standard for motels! Thank you!

The pros: cool looking rooms, good breakfast. Excellent parking underneath
The cons: The foyer smells foul when you enter from outside or come down the lift not sure if this is the toilet right by reception/lifts but this was apparent both days we stayed.
Rooms look cool but bathroom is badly designed with tap in wrong position by sink, lights at mirror that have no apparent lightswitch to turn them on. Shower door that needs adjustment so it will close.
One switch for lights on entry that does everything so it’s all or nothing in the room which would be cool if it wasn’t so over lit.
Soulless corridors leading to rooms
This hotel could be really great but lacks in the detail to make it so.

Nice quiet spot!
Quiet comfortable room with a kitchenette. The room was a little small but we had space for everything we neeeded. The view from the back patio was gorgeous. The room was spotless and relatively quiet. We appreciated having side tables on both sides of the bed and easy access to outlets for chargers and my husband’s cpap machine.
