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 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.

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.ErinNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

- From $111.03 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 505 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
- From $79.53 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 972 reviewsThis 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.JaydenNew Zealand
- From $122.96 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 540 reviewsThe 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.
RichardNew Zealand - 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 591 reviewsThe setting is divine. All staff helpful and sincere. The hotel is authentic and comfortable As Kaikoura is rediscovered and renovations continue it may become more expensive and in greater demand. I feel lucky we have stayed when The Pier is perhaps at it's very best! Thank you everyone. We so enjoyed everything about our Kaikoura stay and The Pier.KevinNew Zealand

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
