Top Kaikoura Beach Hotel Reviews

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

8/10 Good
"The wifi was terrible. Not sure if that's because my room was the furtherest away or it's just bad in general. The room itself was nice and the toilets and showers were good. I told them I would be late arriving and they told me where to find the key. Overall the stay was good it was just the wifi that was the issue because I wanted to work from my room so it was kind of important."
