Historic Empire Hotel
5.0/5
Great facilities at knock down prices.
I paid $10 to park my campervan in their back parking lot (they have power) and then $5 for access to their ample kitchen, laundry, toilets and hot showers. Bargain. I also enjoyed a few handles and a great feed in the pub next to a roaring fire. Would recommend 100% for anyone looking for a no frills place to stop on the West Coast and an authentic NZ pub experience. Staff were polite and helpful and locals were friendly.

Renwick Domain Carpark
5.0/5
Good clean public toilets available 24/7, near a couple of pubs and a small supermarket.
Ideal if you want somewhere free outside of Blenheim. I even got picked up here for a wine tour!

Fine on a weekday, free and had good facilities.
Toilets were available, showers and laundry were being repainted (done now). Parking runs out at 8am but you can pay $4 to extend to 10am (1 hr free, 1 hr paid)

West End Carpark, Kaikoura
5.0/5
Good clean public toilets, open all night.
Plenty of spaces and quiet enough on a Sunday night. Close to amenities and the Whaler pub was a highlight, worth a look for a solo traveller.
