Outside sitting areas for each downstairs unit could be more private with some more partition type installations.

Lovely view, decent sized space, great breakfast options

The View! You can not tire from the beautiful outlook form the balcony. Seeing the mountain range plunging into the ocean is remarcable. A bonus was being able to see the village below and its goings on.

Wonderful garden, very quiet, fantastic breakfast

There was no personal touch, no greeting on arrival or when collecting breakfast.

A comfortable lodge, with good views to the mountains. Although we selected the garden view when booking, we should have selected the sea view. The continental breakfast selection was very good. Short walk into Kaikoura, with longer walks beyond. Although the main road was close, there was hardly any traffic on it at night, so not really a problem.

Isolation of the building was pretty bad, was difficult to heat the place up

Communication with host beforehand was very good, breakfast (including gluten free options) was very good, view was amazing!!!

The stairs. But if you choose to stay in an upstairs room you have to expect that!

Loved the view from the upstairs balcony room. Couldn’t stop looking at the snow capped mountains and the sea. So beautiful. Breakfast was lovely. Bed was really comfy. Central location minutes from town and the beach.

Would have liked to stay in one of the rooms ovelooking the sea but we booked too late for that to happen. The room we were allocate was fine. There was a major road near by but through careful design the room was affected too badly by the noise.

The breakfast was very good. It was a continental style offering. You collected your choices from a comprehensive range in the kitchen. You then took it to your room were there was table and chairs or use the patio table. The manager was on hand to support any requests or issues.

It would have been nice to meet the owners but the member of staff I did meet was very pleasant. Only real drawback was the proximity to SH1

There was a great selection of foods for breakfast. Entering the Lemon Tree was a delight. Little cabins named for flowers in a beautiful, tranquil garden.

Only minor hiccup was that they took my payment in the kitchen when I saw them, which was fine, but then there was a breakdown in communication and my card was also charged after we checked out. It was all sorted a few days later but was a little stressful in the mean time

Great location, beautiful views. I cannot stress how lovely the staff were. We had to leave early before breakfast and they were so accommodating, they let us into the kitchen to help ourselves to anything we wanted. The breakfast is sooo much nicer than a continental breakfast, they really go out of their way here. Thank you!

Our room could have benefitted from some more subtle lighting.

Incredible location with stunning views of the ocean and the mountains, snow capped for our visit. The best sun rises, and moon rises ever. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, and the railway station/whale watch check in. More importantly just a short stroll to the Slam Club, which is the best meal we have had in NZ. Helpful friendly staff who set up a great continental breakfast choice each day. The property gardens are beautiful too.

Our stay in the Pineapple-Lilly Ocean View Room was superb! I image this lodge is at the highest point in Kaikoura and therefore offers stunning views - we were fortunate enough to watch an early morning large pod of dolphins playing in the water from our balcony. Our room was fabulous, large, comfortable and clean with a view to die for. The staff are amazing and the breakfast is exceptional and love that you take it to your room to enjoy. The location is a short walk to the restaurants and main town but remains peaceful and tranquil.

Would have been good if someone greeted you on arrival.

Everything. Loved this place.

Seagulls a bit of a pain when breakfasting on the balcony - a heads-up about that would have been helpful. The stair to the upper floor was a bit tight for lugging up a 23kg suitcase.

Upgrading from a Garden view to a Sea view was the best £5 I ever spent - wonderful view for breakfast. Wasn't sure about the "get your own breakfast" in the morning, but it was very good. Room was comfortable, and location fine for walking into the town, and for exploring the area generally. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Couldn’t make the coffee machine work. That’s all.

Convenient, Straight forward process, Comfortable.
