    delayed check-in

    Breathtaking views worth every moment

    From our superb studio, the ocean view took our breath away each morning. Lyn, the manager, made our stay enjoyable with great dinner recommendations and warm hospitality!

    Check-in was slightly delayed due to staff being overwhelmed, which may be understandable, but it did put a damper on eager arrivals during a busy holiday season.

    limited availability

    Absolutely loved our stay at Anchor Inn Beachfront Motel! The breathtaking views from the apartment across the bay to the snow-capped mountains took my breath away every morning. The spacious room with a well-equipped kitchenette made our family evenings comfortable. Lyn was incredibly helpful, making dinner reservations and offering suggestions for local attractions. We had a smooth check-in and immediately felt at home. The only downside was the limited availability of beachfront rooms. we wished we could have booked one. the cleanliness and amenities provided were top-notch. Will definitely return!

    family stay
    comfortable room

    The ocean view from our Superb Studio with Ocean View was truly stunning, making our family stay quite memorable. We enjoyed a lovely walk to the nearby Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway to soak in the scenery and fresh air. The beach was just a short stroll away, making it easy to enjoy the coastal beauty. The room was well-appointed, offering comfort after our adventures in the area.

    Skip to the good part!

    What a delightful stay! The ocean view from our spacious room was breathtaking, and the shower pressure was heavenly. The little kitchen added convenience, while our comfortable bed ensured restful nights. Enjoying breakfast on the balcony with the sound of waves was pure bliss. Highly recommended for its value and charm!

    housekeeping routine

    We loved our stay! The breathtaking views from our apartment offered a perfect backdrop for our family. The lovely owners even organized our dinner reservations at a nearby restaurant, which was a treat after a long day of exploring the beautiful beach and coastal walks.

    Although the cleanliness was generally good, a more thorough housekeeping routine could make it even better.

    comfortable bed
    immaculate room
    low data limits

    Absolutely loved the comfy bed and immaculate room. Cooking facilities were spot-on, and having a couch made evenings cozy. The shower? A mini spa experience right there!

    The check-in time was more rigid than my yoga routine! I could've done without the low data limits. it's like they expect vacationers to be unplugged after all!

    spotless room

    It was just a fitting option for a weekend vacation in Kaikoura with very good value for money. The sea-view room was spotless and had a superbly comfortable bed, making our stay very enjoyable. Make sure to check out the beautiful views early in the morning.

    Do recommend for a city holiday

    Spacious room, comfortable bed, with breathtaking views of the shoreline and mountains from our window, where we enjoyed breakfast made with well-equipped kitchenette utensils while free parking just outside our room made it easy to explore the area.

    Some minor maintenance issues could be addressed.
