Wake up to stunning views of the Kaikoura Mountains and the sea at Panorama Motel. Our units are all ensuite and smoke-free. Every unit opens out onto either a patio area with outdoor seating or onto its own private balcony, to allow our guests to enjoy the panoramic views. We had a huge delay and arrived late. Annie at the reception left for us the unit open and prepared, and explained by mail very clearly how to find it, where to park etc. Parking was just in front of the door. The room had big windows with great views of the sea, and there was a sitting area outside, although it was too cold and windy to use it.

There is free on-site parking and free Wi-Fi. We recently stayed two nights here and couldn’t be more pleased with our choose of accommodation.

Staff were also super lovely and friendly. Let’s not forget the spectacular view of the mountains from our room. We will definitely be back!
