Beautiful place. The golf field and at the same time the view from the window is gorgeous. Good room, nice bathroom. Location is outside the city but honestly I think this is a plus.

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.

I have stayed in many motels around NZ for work over the last 10 years or so, most NZ motels are very dated, like they were built in the 70's and never updated, this place is very different, modern clean and very suitable for families rather than just catering for truck drivers. Great staff, clean, tidy and modern. Listening to the sea when going to sleep was nice.

No breakfast studio flat. Walking distance to train & Whale Watching. Everything I needed in the studio flat. Separate kitchen with all the gadgets I needed (like a can opener, cutting board, microwave bowls etc) which I haven't got in all the other motels stayed in hence the high praise & the fridge was in the closed kitchen - lovely nights sleep thank you.
