Location, room
- location - had the waterfront apartment so just a gorgeous view - super spacious apartment - large kitchen - comfortable bedding - spa bath was fantastic
- very minor, could use with a second Telly in the main bedroom. - wish we got to stay longer!
The accommodation was in a great spot across from the bay, with plenty of bars & restaurants nearby. The town is one of the most beautiful places we have been to. An amazing turquoise coloured Bay & behind the town are stunningly beautiful, snowtopped mountains. Seals, dolphins & whales frequent the bay, we watched two seals for a couple of hours while we had a few drinks & a bite to eat at The Pier Hotel.
Nothing everything was great
Location, very clean and well equipped, awesome staff
Nothing!
Fantastic location right on the waterfront, immaculately clean, superbly comfortable beds, great price.
Did not realise there were 2 single beds in one of the bedrooms. Great for people with children
Great unit for a family with kids - lots of space and good kitchen facilities.
Wish we could have stayed longer!
Great location Comfortable stay
Bathroom is very small
Great location, friendly ane helpful staff.
The facilities of the room are very complete and the location is also very good! Clean and tidy, and the service staff is warm-hearted!
Location was great apartment was clean modern and staff were great would definitely stay again we enjoyed our time Both at our apartment and in the town🙂
It was amazing, everything you need & close to the beach.
位置很赞,就在海边。离小镇中心餐馆步行可达。
The location
The bed was extremely firm and uncomfortable.
Good location, very well equipped kitchen, great shower, comfortable beds, warm and cosy in winter and good parking
All good!
Superbe appartement, confortable, spacieux et propre. Bien situé, vue mer. Rien à redire.
Bed was excellent, felt like sleeping on a cloud. Pillows matched the bed. Decor was nice in the lounge, bedroom and had a brand-new bathroom. Dedicated parking onsite which was great, and the receptionist was friendly and welcoming.
We picked this location because we wanted to be by the ocean, but we got put out the back, where you could not hear the ocean. Room configuration was very strange, and the so-called bathroom was straight out of a tiny home. Bathroom was brand new but ridiculously small for a motel. No hair dryer, no washer/dryer so could not do our washing as we had planned. Overall, a disappointing stay because the room simply did not match my expectations.
Location, very clean, comfortable, easy access.
The bathroom is a bit small; it does not have a showbox to stop the water going out. there is no place to hang or place clothes.
The apartment was lovely and in a great location. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We only had an overnight stay we would have liked to stay longer. The apartment was warm and cosy and the sofa super comfy! There are great coastal walks around the area and we went to see the seals basking on the beach. The shops and restaurants were close by and we would recommend Street Eats - delicious food and good value.
All great
Excellent apartment, nice views, very clean and comfortable ,handy to eateries. Perfect for our group of 4. Will be the number one choice for our next stay
Lovely staff member who checked us in and helped us with the tv. Warm, comfortable apartment
The view and the facilities
Shower over the bath - not good for older people
The location is superb to explore the Kaikoura Peninsula. The trail is just outside the hotel.
Nothing.
Fabulous location with superb views of the beach and sea especially at day break and night fall The comfiest beds so far on our trip around NZ The location is great- walking distance to shops and restaurants- the walk is lovely alongside the beach
Nothing
Beautiful apartment right in front if beach. Very clean and big. Had a wonderful stay
Great place to stay. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Hand to everything in Kaikoura. Beautiful beach right across the road with amazing sunrise. Would definitely stay again.
Good location - clean and comfortable with good kitchen facility.
No hand towels , no shelf in bathroom. Also no hooks for clothes in bathroom and no bathmat - as it was a “wet” bathroom the entire floor was slippery.
Location
Right on the Waterfront, Comfy Bed, lots of room, everything there that we needed. Will stay again.
The 30m to the beach with perfect sunrise. The 1hr trek to see the seal colony and the full 3hr trek around the peninsula The café and restaurants in the main street only 10mins walk. Hotel had full kitchens and went further by offering salt/pepper and oil. The New World supermarket does delivery. Staff helped out and made us feel welcome even during the holidays.
The beach is a stone beach. Don't come expecting sand.
Lovely comfortable apartments, which suits our group of 4 down tithe ground, n very roomy.
So close ti sea, and you can see more than a glimpse, e have booked 8n for next year 2027 as well now, as have been given a discount for staying there quite a bit.
Great view right by the sea, has everything we need, great water pressure. Most importantly, host is so friendly and helpful. We were there when Kaikoura had a flooding emergency, and the host was very accommodating about our situation, and provided valuable guidance and support. Would recommend for anyone looking for a great experience in Kaikoura!
The location was superb
Just the heater not working in one of the rooms
The unit was really well set up for a stay of a few days. Roomy and comfortable
Nothing really. one small thing was the size of the crockery bowls. They werev way too small for breakfast cereal.
Good location, nice view, full amenities, washing machine, dryer, dish washer, free parking,
Great location and beautiful views

The location is perfect, overlooking the beach. We watched an amazing sunrise over the sea from our room(No 2) The place was spotlessly clean, warm and had very comfy beds. We will definitely be back.
The only thing would be that there was a spa bath with a shower over it. I talked with the lovely owner, and she said they were thinking of changing the bath for a walk-in shower. It wouldn't stop me going back though.
The main bedroom was very small.
Instructions for the washing machine were great but need to have further instructions about using the dryer.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and homely, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We also loved the waterfront view!
Very clean, stunning view and all the amenities we needed
Great location and lovely staff. Comfy bed and loved all the facilities available within the room!

This apartment was fabulous. We were situated on the ground floor right at the front overlooking the water. The two bedroom apartment had a fully functioning kitchen with lots of amenities as well as a washer/dryer. Free Onsite parking. Would have loved to have stayed longer.
員工非常友善 夜裡的星空銀河很美
Location. Management. Very welcoming and helpful and a very good operator with a great attitude and attention to detail. I was impressed.
都很好
try modern clean spacious the owner was extremely helpful
it was excellent
Clean, modern, comfortable, warm and quiet. Large sunny patio with sounds of the surf. Kaikōura at its best. Great bed, linen, towels. Kitchen amply supplied, even a built in washing machine. Helpful and friendly hosts. Thankyou. We’ll be back
Very helpful staff...having an extra small table put in room was no problem for them to arrange. Bed very comfortable. Room quiet.
Location near eatery and star glazing and seal spotting area
Very little seafood restaurants and seafoods are expensive, but not the fault of the property.
Location
I booked 1bedroom apt. I was put into studio, round the back and facilities were not as advertised. No wardrobe, hanging space cupboards to put clothing. Dirty carpet. Mould in bathroom. Broken tiles in bathroom and kitchenette. Disgusting smell of bleach and small boxy bathroom floor when wet was slippery and I fell over. The floor felt, when wet, slimey..No work surface for toaster other than in the sink! as the lead on the toaster did not reach the plug on other side of basin. I was not made aware of " no view , no kitchen," until by email the night before check in. When I queried by return email I was told I would be able to make tea or coffee. I had to put a towel on the floor in the shower area so I did not slip and fall again. There was an old non working air con unit still in situ and an now not used tv wall bracket still in situ..I used this to hang up my coat! All in all this was horrendous but no owner on site to talk to just a receptionist with a poor command of the English language. I request a full refund and any out of pocket costs as a result of my fall in the shower due to slippery, not safe, bathroom fall. I did report fall to reception and was offered clean towels. I have more photos should they be required I actually stayed 2 nights though I note it has 1 night at the heading of this review.
Tout était parfait
The location was excellent and free parking on site is a bonus. The apartment was spacious enough and clean. Reception was friendly and helpful.
Seating in the lounge area was inadequate for 4 adults, 1 not very comfy armchair and a 2, maybe 2.5 seater, lounge. The accessible bathroom, which we didn't need, did not have anywhere to put toiletries. If you lowered the seat you could not comfortably use the shower and there was nothing around the basin area to sit things. There was quite a lot of noise from the upstairs units throughout the night. We were only there 2 nights so just put up with it.
Great location. Across road from the beach. Quiet and short drive to town.
Nothing
办公室接待人员服务热情,帮我们电话联系看鲸船票,得知看鲸船票告罄,又主动推荐并联系观海豚船票,我们如愿以偿。还建议我们用空闲时间去point kean Viewpoint 周边游玩,我在那里看到了超多的海豹,我们深深感觉这次入住物超所值。旅店位置向东贴近海边,早晨看日出极为方便。我们住的家庭房可以做饭洗衣,还有洗碗机用!我们住得非常非常满意。
