Alpine-pacific Holiday Park
Staff were friendly but were hanging around the room with cleaning supplies from 9am. Check out was 10am so this felt a little premature and awkward.

Excellent 1 night stay. Very clean, great staff (very helpful) just a few mins drive to The Whale Watch station and a few minutes walk to New World supermarket. Super place!

Kaikoura Luxury Apartments
Our apartment was so neat and spotlessly clean. It had a very comfortable bed and everything we could need but it was quite dated and definitely not “luxury”.
