    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.

    This property was in a good location directly opposite the beach. It had a comfortable bed, clean linen, kitchenette and the bathroom appeared to be recently modernized. The shower room was a decent size and was fully tiled. The shower water was hot. The large tv included Netflix. We were close to the Pier Hotel where we had an evening meal and it was beyond excellent. We walked the seal colony walk which was beautiful. We would stay here again and the price was fair.

    Across the road from the beach so it had a sea view across the hotel carpark. Recently refurbished and the bed was supremely comfortable. Basic cooking facilities though I didn't use them. It was good to have the bathtub. Handily next door to Encounter Kaikoura, which has a fantastic cafe and gift shop. There aren't a lot of eating places in the immediate vicinity of the hotel so it was great to have such a nice cafe next door.

    Water Pressure in the shower was divine! Pub attached to the hotel was very convenient and the food was delicious! 11/10 recommend the sticky date pudding! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The grounds are gorgeous and being situated a little out of Kaikoura makes it feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with the added bonus of being a 5 minute drive from the supermarket, beach and township.

    Lovely upstairs rom with a mountain and sea view. The room is basic, just space for the bed and a central heating radiator but for $68 won't find better in Kaikouora. Communal Kitchen and dining area are excellent, large and clean. Couple of settees too. 5 minute walk into Kaikoura centre, Westend. Paid cash for the room, no credit card rip offs, nice.

    Great location with supermarket and petrol down the road. Facilities were excellent - well organised, clean and easy to use. Fantastic TV - size and easy to use, same as the wifi. Having stayed in three different motels over three nights - this was definitely the best!

    Our flight was delayed for a day so we had to cancel the room on the checkin date which should be charged. The hotel well understood us and agreed to waive this fee. Thank you for prompt response and support. We will choose your hotel again in our next trip to NZ.

    Stayed in the yurt with my teenage kids. Loads of space, comfortable beds, hot shower. Makes a lovely change from the usual dull motels or holiday parks. Even the teenagers enjoyed helping with feeding the farm animals. Fab place. Would recommend.

    Lovely view of the sea from the room. Comfortable bed and good facilities. The location is a bit of a walk into the town centre but has interesting coastline and a good restaurant nearby. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Kaikoura.

    Lovely motel right on the foreshore. Pet friendly so lots of people with dogs and the beach in front of the property was dog friendly. The room was clean, tidy and fully equipped with what we needed. The bed was comfy too.

    Beside a very good Indian restaurant and short walk to main shopping area in Kaikoura. The room, although small, proved perfectly adequate and comfortable, and was on the quiet side away from the road.
