The Motel was very central and the outlet was good.
The shower was not the best as the tiles were not shaped into the drain and the water flowed over the floor.

We love the location of Blue Seas across the road from the beach
We missed having a sofa on this visit, as it was pretty uncomfortable sitting on the bed. We were offered an upgrade, but we'd already paid more than usual for this visit, so we declined. Perhaps if we had taken the upgrade we would have had a sofa!
We normally have a walk along the beach front, but on this occasion it was unfortunately raining so we couldn't. However, the next morning was beautiful, and the view from our unit was stunning

The location was good, just walk across the road to the sea, the room was nice and spacious, the room was nice and clean. Took a bit to work out the freeview on the TV but got there in the finish, haven't used freeview before. All round a good stay. Staff very pleasant.
Everything was fine.

On foreshore with views of the snowcapped Kaikoura Mountains.
Easy walk to nearby restaurant
Warm comfortable bed
The shower stream was very narrow, maybe it was possible to adjust this.
Flow was strong

It was an old style single story motel which had been renovated beautifully. No stairs and parking at the door made unloading luggage very easy. It was right on the seafront. It had a large washing machine and dryer available for guests.

Reception staff was friendly and welcoming and passed on local knowledge about places to visit. Room was clean. Bathroom had recently been refurbished.
Room and kitchen areas are old and not very comfortable. Bed was old and not comfortable either. Also no fan or a/c provided and it was a warm stuffy night so didn’t sleep well.

position and friendliness

no light bulb over bed. I had to swap for another. Slack!!
Useless kettle. I had to hold the switch down the whole time to get it to boil, after the first use. Very poor!
Unable to ventilate the room. No fly netting over a window and no security window stays either so windows had to be kept closed all night. Very poor!
The tea and coffee provided was extremely weak. Tea was really useless.

Location was excellent 👌 with great access to the sea.
Just a few things that need finishing in the renovated bathroom and kitchen.

The area of the motel is fantastic right across from the beach ,hop/skip/jump not far from town .kids park
Was a pretty cool room for myself and 2 grandchildren right size ,nice and clean ,decor was bright and welcoming
Nice touch with the wild flowers on the table which then i put inside ,maybe there had been some renovations the bathroom /shower /toilet looked new (great )))
And having netflix, as well a bonus considering the weather ...
Shower pressure wasn't the greatest in room ten ,i know the simplest things matter hence no tolite brush ..
Suggest maybe a dust pan and brush i had grandchildren, (messy ). Had to grab the vacume of staff ..
And maybe room service would be a good idea considering we stayed 3 nights
Rubbish collection ,refilling of coffee /tea
Clean towels ,vacume the room .
Overall a nice place to stay. We throughly enjoyed.the stay anyway .just the basic services lacked . ...
