Wake up to stunning views of the Kaikoura Mountains and the sea at Panorama Motel. Our units are all ensuite and smoke-free. Every unit opens out onto either a patio area with outdoor seating or onto its own private balcony, to allow our guests to enjoy the panoramic views. Loved that it’s dog friendly but still quality accomodation. We are a family that likes to take our dog everywhere with us but don’t always want to camp. Really comfortable we will definitely stay again when in the area. 😊
