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 spectacular

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.

Very easy to find way to attractions,town lovely and clean.Plenty of eating places,ones we used were all excellent and value for money.Only thing we regretted was we missed the Whale Watch tour as it was blowing hard both full days we were there and there were no sailings.Will have to go back again.
This property was clean, comfortable and had kind staff.
The view was beautiful and location was peaceful. Close to the Pier Hotel Restaurant which was good quality. Seal colony within walking distance. The bed was comfortable and had fresh linen. Nice bathroom and the shower had good water pressure. We had a upstairs unit and it was worth the price! We plan to come back here again for a much longer stay next time!
We chose the hotel for its location and were thrilled with our choice. The front desk was staffed with very helpful people and the front office manager on duty for much of the time we were there was a delightful personality.
We were also particularly impressed by the member of staff running the breakfast room: she was very thoughtful.
This is a really nice, modern hotel, very close to the main things to do in Kaikoura. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the staff are very helpful. If you’re doing the swimming with dolphins experience during your stay, the hotel is over the road from the meeting place. This made the early start a lot easier!
location, facilities, hospitality
we were running late to get the hotel (after reception hours), but Sue at the reception prepared everything for US. (pre-assigned room number, key, heater and light on, guest registration form etc.).
lovely stay at Kaikoura, will certainly recommend to friends
Tv in each room. Often motels look fantastic on websites but are actually not as advertised, but in this instance the unit was beautifully presented. The kitchen is a great size with a full size fridge.
Excellent communication from the Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments team. Delighted to find an incredibly clean, warm, and well appointed two bedroom apartment with views of the water. Highly recommend.
This would be one of the cleanest Motels we have ever stayed in. The owner was most helpful and welcomed us with a smile. Would definitely stay there again and have already told friends about it.
Excellent facilities. kitchen and bathrooms were better than most the motels we have stayed in. staff very polite and helpful. I would recommend. the beach access was also great
We loved this hotel. It was so clean. The room was very nice. It had everything we needed. Great bathroom/shower. The front staff were kind and helpful.
