DianeYoung couple - Avg. price/night: KRW 123,2388.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,223 reviewsWanted a getaway for peace and quiet due to busy work commitments. Kaikoura gateway motor lodge certainly delivered in that department. The beds were Sooo comfortable (not to hard, not to soft) . The BBQ area is a bonus as well as the pool use during your stay. Would have liked to have a room with a view, however, the view entering and exiting the motel made up for it, with a stunning view of the mountains and beach. Would definitely stay again.Francine augustYoung couple
