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.

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

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.
AliceNew Zealand - From £50.10 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,202 reviewsLovely 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.darrenNew Zealand
