We arrived very late at night and the lights were on to make it very easy to see upon arrival. Also the fabulous staff had put the heater on so it was lovely warm and cosy.
A very comfortable clean environment.
The staff we interacted with the following morning were very friendly and courteous, lovely people.
Thank you so much

Location was perfect for walking to the Seal Colony along the path and the beach . The front Desk hours were very limited and the breakfast left a bit to be desired . But the location and the quaint courtyard make up for its downfalls.

Enjoyed the whale watching tour - the day was reasonably calm so no one was seasick thank goodness. Staff were informatiive and shared the story of the whales and dolphins. The map showing us the travel route was very helpful to understand the trnech and which direction and area we were headed to.SheilaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

Kaikoura is a 2 hr drive from our home, so we regularly visit for long weekends. It's a special part of NZ where people and nature can interact. There's something special about how the mountains meet the sea. And of course the fresh seafood is spectacularChristinaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
WhaleWatch trip was very good.
WhaleWatch trip was very good. Great cafes: Flo and Co has excellent coffee. Sime's Kitchen had great breakfast and lunch - vegan choices were delicious. Tipsy Foodies also recommended. Southern Paua shop and factory highly recommended - amazing range of jewellery, carvings and gifts. Some exquisite pounamu too. Best place to buy gifts in Kaikoura!! Novel Findings is a great bookshop and homewares shop - don't miss it! Loved the Ngāi Tahu artworks beside the highway, murals on the railway bridge and buildings. It's really worth checking the "Neat Places Kaikoura" website - lots of great suggestions for cool places and things to do in Kaikoura.LisaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

The wild life was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. I went swimming with dolphins and saw load of seals with their pups. Also the people in the town are super friendly and helpful.

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 16 reviewsIt was an excellent place to stay. Very spacious, very clean and the nearby beach and scenery was beautiful. A pleasant walk along the beach was so relaxing. Had a little problem to get in the house, but a quick call to the staff solved the problem. The beds were very comfortable. The location was good - quiet neighbourhood yet just a short driving distance to the town area. Superb experience for our family of seven. Highly recommended for families visiting the Kaikoura area.Yee HingSingapore
- From US$134.34 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 181 reviewsThis is a home for the elderly or disabled. The lady running it didn’t seem to understand what to do. No WiFi and despite me asking again the lady running the place had no clue how to resolve the problem. In the end we didn’t stay, we moved to another hotel, that is how poor it was. It states that the hotel is in Kaikoura, it is NOT, it is several kilometers away n the middle of a residential area. We were VERY dissatisfied.

The property is away from downtown Kaikoura, so it was very quiet and very relaxing.NancyUnited States

The bathroom was really archaic and small, the toilet door didn't shut. The bed was comfy though which was good. It kinda felt like backpackers accommodation. I wouldn't stay there again.LindaNew Zealand
