Blue Seas motel
About
Blue Seas motel serves South Island from 222 Esplanade, Kaikōura 7300, New Zealand, placing it on the coast of this South Island town. Guests have rated the motel 3.9 out of 5 across 258 reviews, a steady figure that reflects a long run of custom.
Kaikōura sits on the South Island's east coast, and the town is reached from Christchurch, Blenheim and Nelson by road, while Queenstown, Dunedin, Wanaka and Te Anau lie further afield. The motel's own website, http://www.blueseasmotel.co.nz/, carries its current information for anyone planning a stay. Its position on the Esplanade puts it close to the waterfront in a town known for its marine setting.
Travelling around the South Island is straightforward by road and ferry, and the Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so the seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere's. Small earthquakes are common because the country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates.
Māori culture is central to national life, with marae and haka part of the fabric of the country, and the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. New Zealand cooking makes the most of lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels and bluff oysters. A few words of greeting go a long way in shops and cafés along the coast.
