Alpine View Motel, Kaikoura (NZ) - Deals & Reviews

The chocolate croissants were an absolute treat, alongside a fantastic beach access just a hop away. Plus, the cozy atmosphere made for a chilled stay, with plenty of room in our One-Bedroom Apartment, perfect for relaxing after our adventures!

I found the microwave a bit limiting—I'd rather have a bench-top oven to get my cooking groove on. And while the shower was solid, a flexible shower head would have made getting to all the nooks and crannies easier.

Unfortunately, I noticed the need for better upkeep, as some kitchen utensils were dirty, making me clean everything before use. The room also had some dust accumulation in places like light switches, which was a concern, especially with a family member suffering from allergies. For plug access, the power outlets along the walls were a stretch when seated at the table, and if you're sensitive to noise, be cautious of the main road traffic and occasional train sounds at night.

Had a comfy stay with great beach access, but the kitchen utensils could've been cleaner and it was a trek to town. Chur for the lovely views, though!

Sea View and Comfortable Stay

I was really impressed with the setup of the studio, it was functional and spotless, making my one-night stay feel very cozy. The heater was a nice touch, especially on a chilly night, and having a small kitchen allowed me to prep my breakfast easily. The best part was definitely the view of the sea right behind the property, perfect for an early morning walk. I found the milk sachets provided a bit fiddly to open.
