Overall Ratings & Reviews Kaikoura Gateway Motor Lodge

A convenient stay

All good

Very well appointed motel room, ours with spa bath and balcony. Comfortable bed. Off-street parking. Easy walk into town for many restaurants.

Great!! Nothing no complain about

Unfriendly and rude female staff who insist on only accepting card payment and that the room I booked is non aircon, even when I pointed out to her that it states on its booking site that it accepts cards and cash, and all the rooms have aircon.

Friendly welcome. Road noise all night, even with double glazing, however we were in a roadside room. Some crumbs in the cutlery draw. Overall OK.

Great facilities, very clean and close to town. The owner was really helpful and friendly and gave me loads of recommendations and top tips.

Noisy air conditioner

They were able to assist us with storage of bikes. Thanks.

I would say that out of all our accommodation, this room was the most modern and lovely to stay in.

Like that our unit was ground floor ...didn't like that wifi wouldn't connect , the tap water was disgusting and the spa was disconnected from bath after being advertised as "spabath"

The second floor room with a partial ocean view was excellent although accessed by stairs. Our stay was short but someone staying longer could benefit from the full kitchen setup for some meals. Pool was closed for the day after our activities so not sure if heated. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was modern with nice features.

Good Motel. Position not too far from Main Street.

A nice quiet motel. Motel has a nice appearance & was close to the centre of town.

Clean but dated, neighbours were loud, lovely couple/owners

Owners could have been a bit more friendly.

Internet variable Windows need cleaning

Road noise is outrageous for rooms right next to the main roadway, next to the property! I'm confident that the other rooms are far more quite and acceptable.

Very nice place to stay! Warm greeting from Kathy upon arrival. Answered questions about the area. Room was roomy, clean, modern, quiet and comfortable. Location is very walkable to town. I'd stay there again.
