Top Kaikōura Hotel Reviews

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
"I highly recommend Alpine pacific as a solo traveller. It’s affordable, clean and has friendly staff. There is a large section in the centre of the property with bathrooms and showers that were tidy and clean, as well as a laundry room and kitchen (if you’re planning to cook I recommend bringing your own cutlery and pans etc as there is a bit of a lack of it). When I arrived my room I booked online was a suite more suited to if you have your own caravan and I asked the girl at the reception if I could change it and it was no issue at all, she was very straight forward and helpful. The ensuite room I had was warm and tidy when I arrived. The bathroom is a decent size as well. There were also electric blankets on the bed which were very pleasant. The property is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre but it’s a very simple and flat walk. It’s inbetween a BP & Night n day so you have easy access to snacks as well. I’d definitely return here for any future stays I highly enjoyed my time here. My favourite part was listening to the crashing waves of the beach as I fell asleep."
