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. Great wee uniy, everything we needed, well considered and great waterfront location in Kaikōura near the seal colony. Owners were fab, left us to own devices only checking in to see if we needed anything/ more supplies. Dog friendly and welcoming. We'd definitely recommend and stay again on next trip to Kaikōura. Thank you!

Just 300 metres from Arthur’s Pass train Station, it offers free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi access. Everything as advertised, very friendly staff, very comfortable. Excellent communication, especially being forewarned about the lack of grocery shops in the immediate area. Having a separate bedroom and living area is a huge plus.
