Located in the seaside town of Kaikoura, New Zealand. All rooms feature kitchen facilities including microwave oven, colour TV and telephone. Electric blankets and heating are provided.

This motel’s facilities include a children's playground, barbecue facilities and shared laundry. Free off-street car parking is provided. Broadband internet access is available in the reception area. Absolutely loved my one night say in the Willowbank Motel ,from the friendliness of the staff after I rang the bell late at night, rather then checking my emails (my bad), to the comfort of the room .. would highly recommend a stay here. My only regret is I couldn't stay longer.. 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
