Mondello Kaikoura was very conveniently located, less than 2 mins drive to the main street dotted with shops and restaurants, and less than 2 mins (in the opposite direction) to the supermarket, convenience stores and other restaurants. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment - which was clean and even had a balcony with mountainside view. There is a guest laundry (coin operated) that was easy to use and convenient.

Lovely spacious apartment with a well decked out kitchen and cozy lounge with the big gas heater. Nice and quiet area and a very short drive into the township. I'm likely to come back here, we had a couple of nights but it's the sort of place that would be a comfortable base of operations for a week of exploring the area. The apartment's private BBQ area is a nice touch and under different circumstances I would like to have taken advantage of it. We were provided a little cot for our infant and it was a good sturdy portable jobby, felt safe for him.

Absolutely loved my one night say in the Willowbank Motel ,from the friendliness of the staff after I rang the bell late at night, rather then checking my emails (my bad), to the comfort of the room .. would highly recommend a stay here. My only regret is I couldn't stay longer.. 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was the last accommodation during our New Zealand trip and we have kept the best for last. What a beautiful chalet! The owners have clearly love and respect for their property. It is well-maintained and very clean. It offers all the comfort and luxury you need. It's beautifully styled. I love how the chalet is oriented on couples and not large families. It radiates romantic and peaceful vibes. The surroundings (mountains, fields) are amazing and the animals are soooo cute. I loved to watch the alpacas from my bed. I wish New Zealand was closer to home so I could visit again. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it so much! I highly, highly recommend staying here. And please: take care of this chalet like it is your own home.

This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!
