We stayed at the Sierra Beach Motels for just one night in a studio unit. It was very clean and tidy on arrival. Good value for money. The hosts were lovely and friendly and helpful. A great location close to the town but far away out of the hustle and bustle.

We had just come from a fantastic accommodation in nelson called beachside villa motel. It cost us $190 a night and we couldn't fault it. We headed into kaikoura to stay at the Sierra.

We stayed in Kaikoura over Christmas and had a great time. The hosts went out of their way to make us welcome. The motel is ideally situated, just far enough from the hustle and bustle of town to allow a quiet night's sleep, but close enough to walk to restaurants and bars.

Lovely friendly welcome as we arrived, and love the map on the wall (!)...nice surprise for us (originally from the UK) making us feel very welcome.

We loved our stay at Sierra, the staff were just lovely and the room comfy and convenient, we would recommend the lovely staff and nice experience asca result. Kiakoura is a great place and we highly recommend staying several Nights there.
