Inn the Bay Bed & Breakfast
196 Esplanade, 7300 Kaikoura, New Zealand – Excellent location - show map
This was a gem. Beautifully presented room with the most impressive shower recess of our 3 week road trip. 10 minute walk to The Pier restaurant and 15 minute stroll into town where we spent an evening in the iconic Strawberry Tree Irish pub where the food and Guinness were excellent. And then of course there were the seals and their pups nearby. Luke and Kylie are doing an amazing job balancing family duties, careers and Inn the Bay. Having experienced the 2016 earthquake and dealt with the pandemic, they deserve every credit for maintaining their business at such a high standard. All visitors to NZ should put Kaikōura on their list.
