⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kaikoura Boutique Hotel and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities truly sets this hotel apart. The room was impeccably clean and beautifully designed, providing a comfortable and luxurious stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the ocean from my room. It was the perfect backdrop to wake up to each morning. Additionally, the hotel's location is ideal for exploring Kaikoura - close to both the beach and town center. The hotel's restaurant offered a delightful culinary experience. The menu was diverse, and the food was expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the local seafood dishes which were fresh and delicious. What truly stood out was the level of service provided by the staff. They were always attentive, ready to assist with any requests, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable stay. I highly recommend the Kaikoura Boutique Hotel to anyone seeking a top-notch experience in Kaikoura. Whether for a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat, this hotel offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and hospitality. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so wonderful. I look forward to returning in the future.

Great location. The room had a mountain view and on the first floor. The apartment had 2 rooms. The main guest room had a double bed, kitchen area and a dinner table. The room had a big TV with satellite channels. The other room was a bedroom with two single beds and a TV. All the beds were soft and comfy. The place was very well maintained. The bathroom was neat and clean. There is a guest laundry available onsite. The host were very informative. We are a family of 3 and found the place very comfortable during our stay of 3 days.

    Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

    Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.

    The seal colony on the northern coast at Ohau Point was a great stop on the way to Kaikoura - we saw baby seals feeding, lots of seal frolicking in the water and on the beach. We walked to South Bay lookout and around the headland to Kaikoura beach as the coastline is spectacular. More seals and birds on this beach. Good 8km walk. Food at the hotel along the road was good and drinks on the verandah to watch the sunset was great.

    Nikau Lodge is a lovely place to stay in Kaikoura. Karen, Mick and Jaz go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The cooked breakfast in the morning was superb, as was the location. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean with an amazing view of the mountains. The best hotel / bed & breakfast that I’ve stayed in in recent years :-)
