Staff went out of their way to help especially when our plans changed with severe weather that came through! Thank you !!

Alex, New Zealand

It's a after the fact but felt I needed to let you know how badly we were affected the change of booking from our requested (and confirmed) one bed apartment to a studio unit on Sat/Sun nights. The photo the website showed a separate bedroom as we really didn't want a studio. Unfortunately I was too tired and didn't argue the situation. We were very disappointed by this deception and we ended up with something quite unsatisfactory to us.

Rodney, USA

Bed very comfortable and we were central to where we wanted to be.

Trevor, New Zealand

Nice view of beach and ocean, spaceful room and soft bed!

Jeathro, New Zealand

Place was really good, staff were very friendly. Value for money, had a good time in Kaikoura with friends.

Chirathm, New Zealand

Good location near the sea front. Helpful staff. Perfect for a short stay. Lots of nice restaurants a short distance away.

Kayleigh, United Kingdom

Comfy beds. Pleasant staff. Clean premises. Good value for money. Couldn't rate coffee as I didn't have a cuppa

Mike, New Zealand

Right across the road from the beach which was great, close enough to smell the salt in the air and hear the wind and waves.

Tanya, Australia

Good travel advice from the proprietor, especially in the wake of earthquakes that have shaken up this area.

Jim, Canada

Good location for exploring Kaikoura with all the basic facilities for a traveling couple plus a washer.

“Okay, but would ask for an upgrade next time or go somewhere else.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • One-Bedroom Apartment
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉It was damp on the block walls, and was too cramped. To be fair they probably have better units, but we were not happy. There were no cooking facilities, just a microwave and electric frypan for any cooking. Nothing to hang a tea towel on. No extra blanket.
눇The owners were very helpful

“Not the best place we have stayed at - and one of the dearest!”
- • Group of friends
- • Family Apartment
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The oven needed a clean. There was rubbish under the bed in the living room. The wall behind the rubbish bin was dirty. The conditioner packs were manky; each person was given either a shampoo or conditioner satchet - not both. The coffee satchets were horrible. The TV channels weren't the same as in the guest book. Although we booked for 4 adults, only 3 of us were able to make it and we were still charged for four. The hosts were not there - had to go next door for key - person not very welcoming.
눇The beds were comfy. Good location.
