Loved Kaikoura
Definitely recommend staying at Mondello. We chose the 2 bedroom upstairs no. 12 unit, the best view to the snow capped mountains. The unit was very comfortable, spacious with a balcony to sit and take in the lovely views.It’s only a 5 minute walk away from the shops and restaurants.

Best Motel of our 3 week NZ trip
Out suite was on top floor at the back and had superb views across the fields to the sunset and mountains. It was spacious and clean and well furnished. Everything seemed brand new. Nicer than most folks home apartments!

Pristine and perfect stay
Absolutely pristine and comfortable, well fitted out and lovely touches like dolphin shower curtain hooks, press-coffee pot, small patio with view of mountains. Occasional lamps in living room and bedrooms would have been nice as overhead light not romantic at all!

Clean, no frills, directly off Main Street, oddly quiet ;except for cleaning crew yelling at each other using voice and walk-in talkies).
