leaking shower

small heater

The views from my room were breathtaking. I loved the front sliding doors that opened directly to the bay, perfect for sipping wine outside. The kitchenette had everything I needed, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The room was clean and comfortable overall. However, the shower had a leaking door that caused flooding on the floor. The heater was quite small for the chilly weather, making it a bit uncomfortable at times. Despite these issues, the quiet location away from downtown Kaikoura made it a relaxing stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Panorama Motel. The room was immaculate and the views over the bay, particularly at sunrise, were simply breathtaking. The friendly staff were always available and willing to assist. Plus, the peaceful location allowed for a relaxing experience, just a short walk to the stunning rock pools across the road.

We stayed 1 night in a two-bedroom apartment with stunning views of the bay. The kids loved the spacious room, and we found it so close to activities like the Dolphin Encounter and snorkelling with fur seals. Easy parking too!

My kids wished they had handrails by the toilet and in the shower for safety.

Comfortable Stay with Gorgeous Views

The room offered stunning ocean views, perfect for morning coffee. Staff were accommodating, even addressing our need for extra towels promptly. Note to future guests, consider asking for a room away from the stairs to minimize noise from above. Overall, a pleasant experience despite a few minor setbacks.
