- Avg. price/night: $53.458.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 1,034 reviewsThe hostel had a lovely, laidback vibe. It was in a great location, a short walk into the Centre of Kaikoura. All the staff I met were friendly and welcoming. The garden area was lovely, and it has a beautiful terrace with sea views. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the free ground coffee was a really nice touch. The washing machine was cheap at 2 dollars, and you could use the washing line outside to dry your things.

Apartment was very well fitted out, all appliances were modern and it looked as if someone had spent money to ensure it was comfortable and safe. There was washing up liquid, dishwasher powder and washing powder provided, a boon for travellers from overseas.
