My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay this week at The Anchor Inn & wouldn't hesitate recommending this motel. The room was spacious, modern & tidy with outstanding views of the sea. Lovely managers, Lyn & Paul, who made our stay memorable (Room 4)

Genuine waterfront accomodation, well positioned, clean and comfortable. The motel is on the esplanade side and close to The Pier Hotel where you can reserve a table and a shuttle even picks you up. Has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Lyn will be there to meet you. She is salt of the earth with a touch of Fawlty Towers. Love it. Go Lyn!

An absolute gem of a beachfront motel! The location is unbeatable, offering stunning ocean views and the soothing sound of waves right from the room. The accommodations were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their local tips made our visit even more special. Whether you’re looking to unwind or explore the area, this motel is the perfect choice. Can’t wait to return!

We are only checking out today, Lyn ;) Awesome views, great location, lovely unit (Room 6), clean and comfortable beds. We could have easily stayed for weeks. Lyn even organised a trip on a fishing charter for my husband. Thank you Anchor Inn, we had an all round wonderful stay.

We had the best time staying at the Anchor Inn, unit 10 being straigh across from the beach, had a great view, our host Lyn has great local knowledge and gave us great directions and suggestion of where and what to do on our short stay. It has been far too long since visits to Kaikoura, love this place.

Excellent value, great waterfront location. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. There was traffic noise at busy times of day but you’d most likely be out and about. Great for waterfront walking, easy walk to the Pier Hotel for food and drink. Lovely to sit outside and watch the sunset.
