The bar area was great. authentic, and rustic atmosphere. service was above average, they made local recommendations of spirits that were excellent. It was located far enough from our room that we didn't hear the music late.

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.

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 spectacular

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.

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.
Of course the scenery is also breathtaking.
Loads of nice eating places that serve great seafood.

Very easy to find way to attractions,town lovely and clean.Plenty of eating places,ones we used were all excellent and value for money.Only thing we regretted was we missed the Whale Watch tour as it was blowing hard both full days we were there and there were no sailings.Will have to go back again.
The room I booked was the smallest of three on offer. I chose this room by choice. It met our expectations. The facilities were very clean and the outdoor tables and area to relax was very welcoming and pleasant. A quiet location. We found the bed hard, but that's a personal preference. The shower pressure was amazing. Check in was very easy and the staff were very friendly.
Parking provided on site. We walked to town about 1 kilometre away for dinner at Zephyr which is a must when in Kaikoura.
Large well equipped unit. The kitchen had everything we needed and we could get more supplies when needed. Comfortable bed. The balcony sitting out area had lovely views of the mountains. Even though it was on the roadside there was very little road noise. Only 1km into the main town with plenty of places to eat close by including a New World supermarket. Laundry was cheap $2 per wash and $2dry and you can hang clothes out if you prefer. There is a bbq area we didn’t use it.
It's our first trip to Kaikoura and we found everything's perfect here - clear instructions from Richard and Moira, finest equipment (basically everything we need from a house is available), superb sceneries (we got both open sea and mountain!), and quiet neighbourhood. Love our getaway weekend here and wish we could have stayed longer! It's cozy like a house but with a quality of 5*.
Look forward to coming back again on our next trip to Kaikoura.
Water Pressure in the shower was divine! Pub attached to the hotel was very convenient and the food was delicious! 11/10 recommend the sticky date pudding! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The grounds are gorgeous and being situated a little out of Kaikoura makes it feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with the added bonus of being a 5 minute drive from the supermarket, beach and township.
a great place to stay in Kaikōura. right on the water in a quiet location yet close enough to walk to restaurants if you want to. fabulously spacious unit with a fully equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. beautifully clean and the manager was utterly delightful - always smiling and incredibly helpful. we will certainly be coming back whenever we come to Kaikōura!
The location is outstanding, right next to shore on Kaikoura peninsula. It is a quirky old hotel that has good atmosphere, and a great bar and restaurant. The included breakfast was quite adequate, even included gluten free vogels. Great upstairs balcony to relax and eat breakfast on.
Very warm, friendly, cosy hostel. Quiet, nice rooms, clean spacious kitchen, nice addition of a fireplace when it was cold and raining outside. Great outdoor space to relax in, and very well located near the town's shops and the ocean. Cheap laundry too!
Really beautiful hotel and garden. I just wanted to sit out there all the time! The breakfast wasn’t included but I thought it was well worth it and very lovely. Staff was great and the room was comfortable and clean!
Fabulous drive around the wild coast-line. Loved the long walk around the Kaikoura Peninsula. Loads of seals and pups. Pre-dinner drink, then smoked meats and salad at "Slam". The pier hotel also fab for all seafoods.
Tv in each room. Often motels look fantastic on websites but are actually not as advertised, but in this instance the unit was beautifully presented. The kitchen is a great size with a full size fridge.
great value for money - cheapest option on booking.com, help yourself breakfast included, very clean, all you needed and balcony to eat breakfast on with 180 sea views
will be back
Excellent facilities. kitchen and bathrooms were better than most the motels we have stayed in. staff very polite and helpful. I would recommend. the beach access was also great
We loved this hotel. It was so clean. The room was very nice. It had everything we needed. Great bathroom/shower. The front staff were kind and helpful.
