Wake up to stunning views of the Kaikoura Mountains and the sea at Panorama Motel. Our units are all ensuite and smoke-free. Every unit opens out onto either a patio area with outdoor seating or onto its own private balcony, to allow our guests to enjoy the panoramic views.

Parking is off-street, with enough space to park your boat or trailer. We are pet friendly, and love to welcome the whole family. The view was top notch, the unit had everything we needed and was really warm and cozy. We will definitely be back.

The climb up to the platform bed is pretty steep but the bed was cozy and firm and comfortable.
