Set back from the main road but still close enough to hear the sea, the rooms are in a small oasis of plants and neatly set out on the plot. Each unit has a generous parking space and a veranda with table and chairs. We were pleasantly surprised by the location and accommodation. It was close to the centre and far enough out to be able to enjoy walking round the head and having an excellent street food lunch of local brew beer, crayfish and ice cream! The check in was seamless and overall we were very pleased with this booking.

Kaikoura gateway motor lodge certainly delivered in that department. The beds were Sooo comfortable (not to hard, not to soft) . The BBQ area is a bonus as well as the pool use during your stay. Would have liked to have a room with a view, however, the view entering and exiting the motel made up for it, with a stunning view of the mountains and beach. Would definitely stay again.Francine augustYoung couple
