Kaikora digs

[Ocean1]

Wee tour in prospect, and I've been given the vital task of organising accommodation for half a dozen in Kaikora for a night.

Trying to avoid having to carry a sleeping bag. I've used the Panorama motel but I'm not overly impressed. And apparently the whole place is a slightly different shape nowadays.

Any recommendations?

You can google backpackers or motels and it should come up with a rating too.

The campground is good and has loadsa cabins!
Is right beside the helicopter tours, northern end of town.

Kaikoura is pretty full with rebuild workers right now...

for half a dozen in Kaikora for a night.

half a dozen what? there's a place there that's really up to date for siamese twins in terms of sleeping digs, but they haven't learned how to set the table properly for them yet.

Had wondered, will call them tomorrow.

Probably still will be in April, but hopefully all the inns won't be full...

Well it depends on the quality of the establishment, doesn't it? I mean do they water their Pimms? Is the cucumber in the simiches crisp, with a hint of malt vinegar? Are the linen sheets pressed to perfection? Do the maids tarry after turning said sheets down?

Only if you ask nicely

Sleep on the side of the road and do a big shit where ever you want just like those freedom camper scumbags.
