Kaikoura Quality Suites
Lovely stay here, a good walk (25 mins) into town along the beach walk each morning for morning coffee was a highlight. Clean property with comfortable beds. Friendly staff. A pool table free to use. Quiet at night even though on the main road into Kaikoura. We will happily stay here again. Thank ...
