Absolutely loved my one night say in the Willowbank Motel ,from the friendliness of the staff after I rang the bell late at night, rather then checking my emails (my bad), to the comfort of the room .. would highly recommend a stay here. My only regret is I couldn't stay longer.. 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A wonderful experience, fabulous hosts nothing was any trouble and they made us feel like part of the family. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Great views and handy location, just a short walk to town with numerous shops and restaurants that cater for all tastes. A good breakfast was included in our stay and it was a great start to the day, very enjoyable and a high standard of food provided to kick the day along.

Mondello Kaikoura was very conveniently located, less than 2 mins drive to the main street dotted with shops and restaurants, and less than 2 mins (in the opposite direction) to the supermarket, convenience stores and other restaurants. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment - which was clean and even had a balcony with mountainside view. There is a guest laundry (coin operated) that was easy to use and convenient.

Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.
