Set in Kaikoura, 1 km from Kaikoura Beach, Mondello Kaikoura provides air-conditioned rooms and a garden. This 4-star apartment offers luggage storage space and room service. The apartment also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. I chose the property as it was within walking distance of the railway station. We arrived in the morning and the proprietor was able to give us our room early. When we departed, his wife kindly drove us to the railway station as it was raining.
