"we had a wonderful stay at Mondello Hotel. the accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. we especially appreciated how well-equipped the kitchen was, with everything we needed during our stay. a lovely touch was the souvenir that was left for us as an anniversary gift, which made our visit feel extra special and memorable. thank you for your hospitality, we would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others!"

Kaikoura Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Was welcomed by a very warm, friendly and helpful host. Nothing was too much bother to her. Room was clean, tidy and very comfortable with great views looking out to sea and also the Southern Alps when sitting outside on the patio. Huge ups to the on site laundry facilities at NO charge, that was brilliant."
