Book a Top Kaiuma Bay Motel

"Close to the wharf and centre of town "

"Terry was 10/10 for our host and both appartments we stayed in were perfect, thank you, we will be back . Wheelchair friendly "

"The place was clean, well equipped for families and couples like us, with plenty of bedrooms and living spaces with a large deck and outside seating. There were also kayaks to enjoy the stunning Marlborough Sounds.The property is perfectly located for walking and enjoying water sports. There is a 30 minute drive up a gravel road which can get a little muddy and slippery, so if you're hiring a car it might pay to get at SUV or 4x4, however, we did manage with a 4 door hatch.Havelock is close by with a small supermarket and plenty of cafés, there is also the mail boat for cruising the Sounds.Just a heads-up that due to location there is no cleaning service or rubbish collection so either bring your own bed lining or you will have to hang around while you wash and dry sheets. You will need to give yourself extra time in your schedule to wash and dry sheets and take the rubbish to the Havelock waste disposal, which was pretty easy.We loved the peace and quiet, with stunning views. It was perfect for what we wanted, to truly relax from our busy life. "

"Nice room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Very quiet and friendly staff, easy walk to town. "

"Excellent service, very tidy, highly recommend "

"For the price you pay it's what you expect, it was clean so made up for the lack of. Loved the host, even came to the ferry to pick us up in his old jalopy 😆. For a one night stay it was amenable. ✌"

"Location was superb easy walk to restaurants and bars. local market and close to the ferry "

"Edit is a very nice place to stay, and I've had awesome stays in the past. The room we received however was quite dated, and dusty, with a shower that was very reminiscent of the 60s... The room is referenced as a 'budget' room, but I still expected more given my previous experience at the same hotel and amount I was spending on the room. The bed was clean, but the amount of dust behind the bed and on the floor was pretty surprising. The staff were lovely, and I would stay again - however, I would want to ensure I got a room which had been renovated."

"You get what you pay for. Clean and tidy room. Check in and out was great plus as it was raining, the manager drove me to the train station which was greatly appreciated "
