This place has recently been renovated and the staff are really helpful, offering a pick-up service from the station on request.

Proximity to sea and beach.

See earlier correspondence. Room not good; outlook - yard into games room; outside staircase to upper floor accommodation was directly outside rear window . Kitchen cleaning cloths very grubby - already used. Rain during night leaked through ceiling onto spare bed where we had put our luggage and clothes; it also came through the side window next to spare bed and ran down wall onto carpet. No form of heating available and one day in Kaikoura was very wet and cold (but fortunately we had moved on). Generally way below standard of other places we stayed at in NZ.

Recently renovated hotel with ideal rooms, excellent views of the ocean. Excellent food, wonderful staff who will pick up from the station on request. Super location to the bay of Kaikoura and great area. Plus, 10 minutes drive from Kaikoura Lookout: D

The rooms are very clean and tidy, and you have a great view of the sea from the window, plus the location is very convenient, being close to New Zealand.

The location was great and our room was right across from the beach with a view.

The room was very dated, without airconditioning, and poorly attended to.

The location is great, very close to the center, the mountain, and the bars and shops, and the service here is absolutely friendly.

good location with sea view. it's close to the city centre and also not far from the place to watch seal.

The rooms are clean and offer excellent ocean views. The location is stunning and within walking distance to the beach and seashore. Conveniently located near the Dolphin Encounter.

The room we were upgraded to had a closed in balcony front facing the sea and the bed was comfortable

Kitchen needs updating

The managers of the motel (Supan and Jimmy) were very nice people and pleasant company. They were also helpful in letting me know me know about the local amenities.

The room was a bit basic - I have used Best Western motels many times over the years and Seaview was a lower standard than those for similar money.

The service here is fantastic, and they have free parking available on site.

Although this is an older style motel the owners have gone out of their way to make it a really nice place to stay. The atmosphere is relaxed, & the games & recreation room was a nice touch. The location is excellent, right on the beach! It reminds me of the great Kiwi family holidays we had in a bach on the beach when I was a kid. The gentle sound of the surf on the beach was very calming & soon had me asleep.The owners were great, & happily accomodated our request for a late checkout. I have stayed in many hotels & motels both here & overseas from corporate to casual & would rate this as one of the most enjoyable. If you want a true Kiwi seaside holiday straight from the 60's this is the place!

This place is definitely value for money, it's centrally located and right by the beach.

The staff at Seaview Motel were accommodating and were willing to pick me up from the station upon request. The location of the motel, approximately 10-15 minutes' walk from the Mayfair Theatre, was marvelous and incredible. The motel is conveniently situated near restaurants and the information center, as well as the Kaikoura Peninsula. My stay at Seaview Motel was exceptional value.

The location is great, it's close to a wonderful restaurant by the waterfront and the beautiful coastline.
