Thankyou for your review and we hope that your break from Christchurch was relaxing enough for you. We are pleased your room was comfortable and clean and you experienced the Dr Who "tardis" shower capsule. Hopefully the shakes calm down soon for Christchurch. We look forward to your next visit with us. All the best More

We stayed here for just one night on a South Island comprehensive tour, our second trip in NZ. As it was the only "motel" stay of our trip (the remainder being in B&Bs), we were expecting it to be just "serviceable" but instead, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that Aspen Court held its own among our many other...

Excellent!!! The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was modern, comfortable and very clean (a nice change from some). A restful stop in a busy schedule. I have already booked my next stay, and will make this my regular stop on my business trips to the South Island. Clive More

We stayed one night here in January before a whale watching trip and it was one of the most luxurious places we stayed in NZ. Beautifully appointed and lovely to have sea view (see photo) from balcony. We deliberately went for a slightly later whale trip so we could have a leisurely start in the morning to take advantage of... More

We stayed at the Aspen Court Kaikoura for two nights. Our room was very well decorated and very clean. The bathroom was smallish, but it did have the amazing shower mentioned elsewhere! It also had underfloor heating and a wall heater, which were welcome on the colder evenings. Our host was very cheerful and amusing and took his time giving... More

Thankyou for your comprehensive review and we are pleased most of the aspects of your stay was excellent. Of course there are benefits and non-benefits of being along Beach Road, the main benefit is that we are very easy to find, just stay on the road that connects Christchurch to Picton and you will find us! Next benefit is that... More

Fantastic well equipped and very comfortable rooms, with views over the bay (if you get a balcony unit). Furniture is very modern with ultra modern bathroom, just fantastic. We enjoyed predinner drinks watching the sun go down on our balcony, just wonderful. Highly recommend this accommodation. More
