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.
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.
While we just needed to be here so that we could get on an earlier whale watching cruise the next day, the property that all of our needs, and we would definitely consider another stay. our room had of sliding glass door, overlooking the bay, with a small table and chairs for outdoor dining.
The property is away from downtown Kaikoura, so it was very quiet and very relaxing.
Very 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.
Amazing breakfast, location, room, facilities! Spa was lovely and so many homely touches. Best accomodation in Kaikoura hands down. Beautiful lounge and indoor and outdoor dining area with big comfy couches. Large selection of DVD's and homemade biscuits went down well! Stunning view from the room - clearly a lot of love put into this place!
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!
Spacious studio, clean, cosy with kitchenette, easy access to beach, car park at the room door and a beautiful snow capped Alpine mountain peak ro great you during the day. 1.6 km away from the whale watchers office and 2 km from the city centre and Kaikoura beach.
Excellent place to stay, new management, the owner is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, super clean, had everything we needed. We had a courtyard view, nice courtyard. We will definitely make it the place to stay whenever we go to Kaikoura.
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.
location next to the pier hotel is brilliant (best place for crayfish dinner in Kaikoura and always busy). Beds were super comfortable and the overall facilities are great. Hosts were extremely friendly and accomodating.
Location was easily walkable to town. And vert easily walkable to the beach. Neighborhood was safe and quiet. LOved the town of Kaikoura!! There was nothing NOT to like about the place and location
We liked everything about the property. It is one of the best motels we have stayed in and we would highly recommend it. Hosts were so friendly and the unit was so well set up and super comfortable.
This hotel is a great addition to Kaikoura. Only just opened, so all facilities modern and clean. Good atmosphere in the bar area, and good restaurant food, with really friendly staff everywhere.
