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.SheilaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

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.

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 16 reviewsIt was an excellent place to stay. Very spacious, very clean and the nearby beach and scenery was beautiful. A pleasant walk along the beach was so relaxing. Had a little problem to get in the house, but a quick call to the staff solved the problem. The beds were very comfortable. The location was good - quiet neighbourhood yet just a short driving distance to the town area. Superb experience for our family of seven. Highly recommended for families visiting the Kaikoura area.Yee HingSingapore
- From ¥16,031 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 2,224 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
- From ¥18,655 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 1,098 reviewsThis 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!
JaydenNew Zealand - From ¥13,078 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 997 reviewsVery comfortable and thoughtful considerations that many other hotels in NZ we have stayed at didn’t have such as large bath sheets instead of tiny towels, a shelf near the sink to put your toiletry bag, etc. Wifi was excellent as well. Assigned parking spaces made it easy to come and go without having to worry about having a space when you returned.
