Mondello Kaikoura

All ok

Booked a two bed unit here even though I am a solo traveller as it was the same price as a studio but on the booking information it suggested the two bed had an oven as well as a hob. It doesn’t but it does have an electric frying pan. However there is a sign above the kitchen counter saying you should not cook “crayfish, curry, or strong odorous food!!” and there is no extractor fan and dire warnings about not letting the smoke alarm off. So I ended up not using it. There is a double bed in one room and twin singles in the next, each room has a small wardrobe and some draws. There is an electric blanket on the double which worked. The apartment is heated by an air-con heater unit and there are heat lamps in the bathroom. This has a large spa bath with the shower over it, I did not try the spa bath but the water strength in the shower was fine. The towels could do with a refresh though. The living room had sliding doors onto a patio area which had outdoor chairs on it, although the weather was not good enough to make use of it. The living room has a small sofa and armchair as well as a dining table and four chairs. The kitchen area is well stocked however the fridge was not working but the owner/manager replaced it quickly. There are TVs in both bedrooms as well as the living room and all are logged into a Netflix account which is handy as New Zealand Freeview TV isn’t great. The downside is traffic noise from the main road but everything else was OK!

Stay here u willnot be disappointed
