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 £229.43 per night9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 161 reviewsIt's our first trip to Kaikoura and we found everything's perfect here - clear instructions from Richard and Moira, finest equipment (basically everything we need from a house is available), superb sceneries (we got both open sea and mountain!), and quiet neighbourhood. Love our getaway weekend here and wish we could have stayed longer! It's cozy like a house but with a quality of 5*. Look forward to coming back again on our next trip to Kaikoura.

FrankieNew Zealand - From £47.80 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 587 reviewsThe setting is divine. All staff helpful and sincere. The hotel is authentic and comfortable As Kaikoura is rediscovered and renovations continue it may become more expensive and in greater demand. I feel lucky we have stayed when The Pier is perhaps at it's very best! Thank you everyone. We so enjoyed everything about our Kaikoura stay and The Pier.KevinNew Zealand
- From £76.48 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 438 reviewsWe enjoyed our stay at Bay Cottages by the ocean. You only had to go across the street and you are at the bay. The room was pretty large with a complete kitchen. The owner informed us of all of the interesting places to see on the Kaikoura peninsula. It was a great area to view sea lions. The accommodations did not disappoint.
KennethUnited States - From £69.31 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 932 reviewsAdmittedly this was cheap accommodation but it needs a bit of love. The pictures were misleading. The bathroom was really archaic and small, the toilet door didn't shut. The bed was comfy though which was good. It kinda felt like backpackers accommodation. I wouldn't stay there again.LindaNew Zealand
- From £66.92 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 322 reviewsStunning location, with incredible views from our room. Tony and Barb were very accommodating hosts, and the room was very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. The motel is a very short distance from all the major things to do and see in Kaikoura, would highly recommend.LawrenceUnited Kingdom
- From £50.19 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,220 reviewsThe Lazy Shag is a basic lodge, but it is the cheapest by far in Kaikoura. It met all our needs that were to have a room to stay in with enough beds for our whānau and a private shower. It wasn’t flash by any stretch, but it was more than fine.CCathyNew Zealand
