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.DebrahCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.LisaNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 463 reviewsThe room I booked was the smallest of three on offer. I chose this room by choice. It met our expectations. The facilities were very clean and the outdoor tables and area to relax was very welcoming and pleasant. A quiet location. We found the bed hard, but that's a personal preference. The shower pressure was amazing. Check in was very easy and the staff were very friendly. Parking provided on site. We walked to town about 1 kilometre away for dinner at Zephyr which is a must when in Kaikoura.KarenNew Zealand
- From $127.17 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 515 reviewsLarge well equipped unit. The kitchen had everything we needed and we could get more supplies when needed. Comfortable bed. The balcony sitting out area had lovely views of the mountains. Even though it was on the roadside there was very little road noise. Only 1km into the main town with plenty of places to eat close by including a New World supermarket. Laundry was cheap $2 per wash and $2dry and you can hang clothes out if you prefer. There is a bbq area we didn’t use it.
gillianNew Zealand - 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 163 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.
louisa_kathyNew Zealand - From $74.11 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 335 reviewsWater 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.
