Location was perfect for walking to the Seal Colony along the path and the beach . The front Desk hours were very limited and the breakfast left a bit to be desired . But the location and the quaint courtyard make up for its downfalls.

Enjoyed the whale watching tour - the day was reasonably calm so no one was seasick thank goodness. Staff were informatiive and shared the story of the whales and dolphins. The map showing us the travel route was very helpful to understand the trnech and which direction and area we were headed to.

Kaikoura is a 2 hr drive from our home, so we regularly visit for long weekends. It's a special part of NZ where people and nature can interact. There's something special about how the mountains meet the sea. And of course the fresh seafood is spectacularChristinaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
WhaleWatch trip was very good.
WhaleWatch trip was very good. Great cafes: Flo and Co has excellent coffee. Sime's Kitchen had great breakfast and lunch - vegan choices were delicious. Tipsy Foodies also recommended. Southern Paua shop and factory highly recommended - amazing range of jewellery, carvings and gifts. Some exquisite pounamu too. Best place to buy gifts in Kaikoura!! Novel Findings is a great bookshop and homewares shop - don't miss it! Loved the Ngāi Tahu artworks beside the highway, murals on the railway bridge and buildings. It's really worth checking the "Neat Places Kaikoura" website - lots of great suggestions for cool places and things to do in Kaikoura.

The wild life was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. I went swimming with dolphins and saw load of seals with their pups. Also the people in the town are super friendly and helpful. Of course the scenery is also breathtaking. Loads of nice eating places that serve great seafood.ErinNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

- From $100.90 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 2,202 reviewsI stay in many motels and hotels around NZ for work. This property is right up there for comfort, cleanliness, friendly accommodating managers and staff. The bed was super comfortable and we were lucky to get a room towards the back of the property so no road noise. Apparently some trains went through during the night but I did not hear them. I would definitely recommend and would be very happy to go back, I wish more properties we're like this.Kiwi KirstyNew Zealand

With the bath on the deck and stars overhead we had a wonderful weekend. Lots of walking trails from this location and a beautiful rural outlook behind the apartment. Lookout 5 minutes walk up the road and historic pa next door with seat overlooking bay to the mountains.We will be back with family and book out adjoining unit. Thanks for the opportunity to stay.
KathyNew Zealand - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 135 reviewsNikau 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 :-)SukanyaNew Zealand

CJ SavageNew Zealand - From $59 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 587 reviewsThe breakfast was simple but nice, they kindly added oat milk for us. The location was a long walk with luggage but worth the great view of Kaikōura mountains from the hotel communal balcony. The restaurant had excellent food.
