Just another reason to come visit Kaikoura! Looking out from our rooms while cleaning we saw a large splash. A large pod of dolphins doing acrobatics and two Orca cruising along! How cool 😎

CLOTHES OPTIONAL!!

Now I have your attention….
The Hop may have come and gone for another year but the guests sure haven’t & they need looking after. Kaikoura is the place to be and we think our motel is a pretty cool place to work.

Are you an energetic, reliable, hard working, detail orientated team player who loves a good laugh and being attacked by an over excited puppy?
If yes then we need you to join our fun loving house keeping team. We work hard while laughing even harder.
We are a great unit who work very well together, discuss and work through all aspects of the business and need someone who can add another element to our team.

We are ideally looking for someone who can work through to the end of next summer however we’ll also look at folks who can maybe do most of that period.
The hours will be between 20-30 per week and during summer may increase.

If you think you’d be a good fit please send your CV telling me why to [email protected].

So very proud to announce we are the Kaikoura stockists of The Herb Farm | 100% Natural Skincare
Christina used to make her own range but discovered these products recently and was blown away at the amazing way her skin felt. Jef is also trying their headache remedy to combat his crippling headaches.
For 33 years they’ve been honing their skills on their own farm just outside Palmerston North, so everything is NZ made. Available at our Reception for everyone.

CLEANER EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!

So winter came and the guests kept coming! Awesome for sure but we’re running low on the energy scale so we need a fresh burst of vibrancy to join us. Is that you? Are you an energetic, reliable, hard working, experienced cleaner and team player who will laugh at my Dad jokes? If yes we need you to join our fun loving team. We work hard while laughing even harder.
