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.

I loved that the accomodation had an information book which included advice on who to call if medical assistance was required. Turns out we needed this info and it made the situation less stressful. We also appreciated the lady on reception who changed our room to the ground floor. That was really thoughtful as my parents are in the 80’s and it would have been difficult going up and down the stairs. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.
