Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Brilliant location. Great staff. Excellent breakfast
Hmmm dinner was average.
Great location with a beautiful outlook over the bay
Only one chair and one footstool per room so very limited for seating space – another chair and a small coffee table would make a huge difference
Lovely room, excellent breakfast
Close to town. Nice and clean. Very flash
Location was awesome
Drinks were quite expensive
We were given a room over looking the mountains and the view was amazing!!
Beautiful hotel overlooking the sea and mountains. Lovely location
It's the 6th time that I have been here in 12 months Do I need to say any more?
WOW! We could not have been more impressed with our stay here!!! The staff was so kind and helpful when my husband contacted them to have flowers delivered to our room prior to arrival for my birthday (as I later found out!). They even went as far as giving us an upgrade and leaving us a beautiful chocolate plate and lovely note congratulating us on our honeymoon! The breakfast buffet was amazing and very fairly priced for the quality and variety, and the restaurant was so delicious we had dinner there as well! Honestly, we had some unfortunate disappointments during our trip to Kaikoura as most of our bucket-list activities were cancelled due to weather, but going back to our hotel made everything SO much better. We're already wishing we could come back!
Location, great staff, and clean, comfortable beds.
Could have been a bit cleaner. The plastic soap tray in the shower needed replacing, and cleaning behind and around taps. The front of the counter downstairs in the restaurant could do with a good scrub!
Modern amd clean
Lovely weekend in Kaikoura staying at the Sudima which did not disappoint. Excellent breakfast, great selection
A stunning clean hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. View and proximity to the beach and cbd is wonderful.

Second time staying at Sudima Kaikōura, and it never fails to amaze me. ❤️ The view is always spectacular, the rooms are clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff are all so accommodating, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which makes the whole stay even more enjoyable. We especially appreciated how one of the staff members went out of his way to assist us, sorry forgot his name, he’s wearing eyeglasses and was stationed Friday 6:30 PM on 28/08/26. Thanks!! We always feel so welcomed and relaxed here. It’s the kind of place where you can simply sit back, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and forget about everything for a little while. 🥰 Another wonderful stay, and definitely a place we’d happily come back to again and again. Highly recommended! 🌊🏔️❤️
Plenty of it
It was perfect in every way. Clean and comfortable. The view of the snow capped mountains and the bay from our top floor room was spectacular. As an added bonus the sunrise was awe inspiring. Never seen anything like it in before.

Nothing to say here.
The attentive helpful staff The comfortable room The fabulous views
Loved everything
We loved our stay at Sudima. We had one of the beachfront rooms which was really cool! Staff were super friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Unfortunately the food and drinks were a bit of a let down. We had dinner in the restaurant, I ordered the Steak and my husband had the Chicken. My steak was cooked well but there was only a couple of stalks of brocolli and 2 overcooked carrots and one small potato ( not crispy ) to accompany our main's. Not worth the cost!! I dont know if the young girl behind the bar knew what she was doing, I ordered a lemon, lime and bitters and it was so strong it was undrinkable and it was a bright orange colour ( it is supposed to be a very pale colour ) which is not right. My husband had the cocktail special and found the same problem with his. Its unfortunate because I couldnt fault the hotel otherwise.
Loved the location and the view
No wine glasses in the room
Breakfast was pretyy good for a buffet.
Don't bother paying extra for the barista coffee, it was terrible.
Beautiful view
Food menu
Loved the location and view
The smell of the body lotion very overpowering
The hotel is really lovely with modern amenities. Our room had a fantastic view of the mountains and ocean.
It'd be nice if there was a bigger trash can and better explanation of sorting trash and recycling
It was warm clean and comfortable
Great location and friendly staff
Beds were far too soft, it was difficult to get comfortable
Posizione spaziale per vedere l’alba
Location and view
Nice and tidy, great location
Breakfast was expensive
The room was exceptionally high end and furnishings very comfortable. Location was right by the beach and the views were of the mountains and sea.
It was perfect for us
Welcoming stsff. Free car parking.
No towel rail in bathroom. Only one chair.
Good views, very clean, comfortable beds. A few bits missing for the room for our stay. I thought breakfast was a bit expensive but there are plenty of other places to grab a bite to eat. I loved Kaikoura 😍
房间非常干净整洁,床很舒服,设施齐全,景色优美
Not good
Really good property. It was warm, cozy and nice. Location is great. Beautiful views from the window.
Room was large, nice products in bathroom also liked the shower salts. Beds comfy.
Breakfast was average compared to the other hotels we stayed at throughout New Zealand. The breakfast area appeared understaffed, and the food stations needed more attention to ensure items were replenished and presented well. There was also a limited variety of options considering the price. On our second morning, we chose to have breakfast elsewhere and found it offered much better value and selection.
Clean and tidy with amazing views
Location, well managed
Nothing
Nice , tidy , quiet . A spacious bathroom.
Only complaint . The food was late , and low standard . A burger for $35 and it was tasteless and 45 mins from order .
Beautiful hotel

Little gem in Kaikoura. Staff is friendly, good breakfast. Excellent WIFI. Pillow menu. We had a great stay
There was nothing that I disliked
Great location right on the water with an amazing view, well sized beds.
Not enough cups or bowls provided in the small kitchenette area.
Location, breakfast, facilities, staff, free on-site parking places. Sunset and beach views are amazing.
Bathroom is a little bit cold without heating and air conditioning.
فريق العمل كان ودود وسريع الاستجابه.

Best place i've stayed in NZ

Die Zimmer mit Meerblick sind einfach traumhaft schön. Einschlafen mit einem wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang. Aufwachen mit einem Sonnenaufgang, der einfach unbeschreiblich schön ist.
Great value, location and facilities
Breakfast is great but could be better, with more vegetables and some Asian food options.
Such a great hotel. Love the food, location and the room
