I would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Kaikoura. The hotel is close to the bars/restaurants (around a 5 minute walk). We were upgraded to the Spa bathroom and were impressed with the size of our room and the views that accompanied it. It had all of the amenities we required and we had a comfortable nights sleep. Each room has a designated car parking space, and we were directed to our space by a friendly member of staff.

Loved Kaikoura

Definitely recommend staying at Mondello. We chose the 2 bedroom upstairs no. 12 unit, the best view to the snow capped mountains. The unit was very comfortable, spacious with a balcony to sit and take in the lovely views.It’s only a 5 minute walk away from the shops and restaurants.

The guys running this motel are such great people they can do nothing but succeed. On learning that we were there celebrating our 61st wedding anniversary, they 3D printed a beautiful rose and stand and presented it to us on checkout . They won us with that.

Pristine and perfect stay

Absolutely pristine and comfortable, well fitted out and lovely touches like dolphin shower curtain hooks, press-coffee pot, small patio with view of mountains. Occasional lamps in living room and bedrooms would have been nice as overhead light not romantic at all!
