Our brief overnight stay was thoroughly enjoyed by our family of two adults and two children. Its prime location directly on the waterfront offers fantastic views and easy access to Kaikoura's rugged coast. The apartment itself was impressively spacious, providing ample room for everyone to relax. A standout amenity for us as transient travelers was the washer and dryer combo – an absolute lifesaver and hugely convenient! We also appreciated the strong and reliable WiFi connection, which is always a bonus when traveling with kids. We truly wished we could have extended our stay to enjoy more of what the apartment and location had to offer.

    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.

    Whale watching cruise was cancelled and they expected high numbers for us to go on a replacement cruise. Fish and chips at Cooper's Catch was disappointing. Tasted like they were cooked in pluto pup oil.

    The rooms were immaculate, thoroughly cleaned, freshly painted with new fixtures and flooring. The rooms were bright with new lighting. The kitchenette and cooking facilities were excellent. The room faced the seaside and wasn't noisy even though the road was next to the buildings. The hospitality displayed by the hosts was very good. Having stayed in motels across New Zealand, A1 motel and apartments were the best and of very high standards.
