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.
The apartment has a commanding view over the town of Kaikoura and the bay. With the bath on the deck and stars overhead we had a wonderful weekend. Lots of walking trails from this location and a beautiful rural outlook behind the apartment. Lookout 5 minutes walk up the road and historic pa next door with seat overlooking bay to the mountains.We will be back with family and book out adjoining unit. Thanks for the opportunity to stay.
This is a home for the elderly or disabled. The lady running it didn’t seem to understand what to do. No WiFi and despite me asking again the lady running the place had no clue how to resolve the problem. In the end we didn’t stay, we moved to another hotel, that is how poor it was. It states that the hotel is in Kaikoura, it is NOT, it is several kilometers away n the middle of a residential area. We were VERY dissatisfied.
I would go back to Pier Hotel anytime it's a very old but well loved pub/ restaurant/ hotel, obviously well patronized by locals. If you don't mind its age and budget old school decor in the accomadation section it is a very authentic place in Kaikoura
Awesome location and incredible views. Sit on the upstairs wrap around verandah in the sun with amazing mountain and sea views
Great food in restaurant,
Great value for money
The location could not be better. It was directly across the road from the beach. We had a stunning view of the ocean and coastal Kaikoura range. Restaurants and shops were walking distance away. It was also a nice touch that the hotel was so generous with the little extras - more tea, coffee (plunger, pods, and instant!), and hot chocolate than we could get through.
This has to be one of the nicest well looked after motels we have stayed at in awhile. It smelt fresh from the moment we walked in. The owners are super lovely and really helpful with everything you need and about the area. Comfortable units with comfortable beds. We definitely want to come stay again.
The location is lovely being across from the beach with a beautiful view of the mountains.
It was clean, tidy and comfortable with a good sized kitchen and smart TV. Appreciated the fridge had a freezer compartment too not just one of those little ice boxes you get in most motels fridges.
This was a beautiful, well appointed house which made our stay in Kaikoura outstanding. The house was very clean, and a full suite of kitchen utensils and crockery was provided Views were fantastic, and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a luxury for our family of four.
The location is great - the view from the room looking across the bay towards the Kaikoura ranges is superb, and we were lucky to see them with a decent snow covering. It was also only a short walk along to the Pier Hotel, where we had two excellent meals.
Motels are okay for quick stopovers but sometimes staying in a B&B is just better. Nice welcome from the host, useful tips on where to eat. Decent breakfast with friendly guests and a scary story from the host about the earthquake a few years back!
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.
Very homely and comfortable, spacious with a nice big bathroom. Handy parking, good location. Have stayed in Kaikoura around ten times in recent years and this is easily the nicest place we have stayed in.
Awesome hotel - owners are very friendly and helpful, and it's possibly the cleanest and newest hotel in all Kaikōura. Very impressed, thanks for the stay.
