Kaikoura Gateway Motor Lodge

Kaikoura Gateway Motor Lodge

8/10 Good
"The room was spotless and clean, really nice location. It was a shame that the pool was closed for the winter on a pair of 22 degree days when its been Spring for a month. I feel like thats something that needs mentioning on the website. We booked this one with the pool in mind and my kids were pretty disappointed that it was closed"
