Staff were so friendly and helpful, food was excellent. Once we had booked in we sat down and enjoyed a drink from there fully stocked bar and sat on their lovely patio enjoying the fantastic views, no need to go out from there premises, we booked a table for the night and had the most delicious meal with drinks. Room was very comfortable and so far has been the best stay of our 6 week tour of New Zealand! Highly recommended!!! 5 star. Pete and Barbara Foley from U.K.

We did whale watching which was interesting - kids loved it. We went to the Pier for dinner - fab food and atmosphere. Was just a 1 night stay this time, we come to Kaikōura a bit as live 2 hours away. Great seafood, seal watching.

Kaikoura is so beautiful and the best place in NZ to see Whales. We took a Whale Watch Kaikoura boat trip and it was awesome. It was our second time taking this trip. The first time 4 years ago in April we saw a Sperm whale and a huge pod of dolphins. This time we saw 3 humpback whales and pods of dolphins with their babies. We've done the Kayaking trip as well and it was great. There is surfing and good hikes too. We also did miniput and the escape from at the Emporium.

The visit to Kaiikoura for a couple of days was lovely for relaxation. Worthwhile just to experiece the seafood and in particular the Paua sandwiches. The Crayfish were too highly priced. Scenery is beautiful. We had hopes to eat in Kaikora's best recommended restaurant. But found when turning up there the doors were shut. So we ended up at the local pub Whalers. They recommended us to try their Board special Porterhouse Steak. Compliments to the chef. The chef knows how to cook steak. (and we are foodies). Walking around Kaikoura is the best way appreciate this beautiful place.

A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the headland at Kaikōura. It is nestled up against the hill with the beautiful bay in front. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, a practical kitchenette and a shower that was hot and strong. We appreciated being able to do our washing, and sat on the chairs outside in the sun while we waited. Our hosts were friendly and we appreciated their information about the Seal colony and the Peninsular walk.

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 room was warm and modern, the Managers were so kind and friendly genuine people. The view is incredible and close walking to the Pier Bar and restaurant. My main reason for booking was being dog friendly and good parking out back. I'll definitely use this as my go to each time i visit Kaikoura
