Lovely welcome and cosy room.

A warm welcome, a comfortable bed, a fantastic view from our room and a great selection for breakfast.

Lovely bed and breakfast, breakfast spread was amazing. Judy was so warm and welcoming and really made us feel at home. We loved that we able to bring our dog with us. Incredible views from the balcony.
The only downside here was that the spa that is advertised as being a feature, was empty and we were really looking forward to using it too
Super comfy bed, delicious and generous breakfast
Owner is really friendly and helpful! the whole accommodation is great with superb views and its really comfy to stay!

The host was wonderful and super friendly but did not impose, parking was great and the room was spotless. There is a balcony with lovely views and a small table where you can sit and enjoy the views. Breakfast was great, it was really nice to have breakfast with the other guests and get a chance to chat. I would love to come back and stay longer. The bed was incredibly comfortable!
If you are not driving then it it a bit of a walk to other parts of Kaikoura ( the seal colony etc..) It is a house so if you have mobility issues ask to stay on the ground floor.
Judy was very warm and welcoming and gave us good advice on dining out. The breakfast was great and the house very warm and beds comfortable. We enjoyed our homely stay.

Fresh and clean. Fantastic host
Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Our host Judy was very welcoming. She helped us with options for where to eat when we arrived quite late in the evening, and for food and activities around the whale watching that we had booked the next day. Breakfast was lovely, fresh fruit, cereals and various breads and jams. I would 100% recommend a stay here.
All good

We had a wonderful stay in Kaikoura and Judy is an amazing woman and host. Thank you!
The host is so helpful and the house feels like a home, I would definitely come again.
Ci siamo trovati divinamente!! Judy è una host fantastica, che ama chiacchierare e super disponibile a dare consigli. La stanza è molto bella, con la terrazza con una vista spettacolare sulle campagne. La nostra stanza era spaziosa, con un bel bagno privato ed una bella doccia. Il letto poi uno dei più comodi del viaggio! Abbiamo potuto utilizzare la cucina per cucinare la cena (c'è un supermercato a 10 min a piedi) e abbiamo gustato con piacere la deliziosa colazione a disposizione. Super super consigliato!!
Zeer gezellige en mooi gelegen bed & breakfast, met zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw! Schone kamer, lekkere bedden, heerlijk geslapen! Aanrader! Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding!

The house is cute and easy to find, clean and cozy. The owner was super helpful
Comfortable bed, good shower, good breakfast, fabulous host.
Just was friendly and helpful and clearly takes great pride in the B and B. Very clean facilities and a comfortable bed. Nice breakfast offerings as well. Thanks, Judy!
We had everything we needed in the unit
We were made very welcome, the breakfast was generous and the fresh fruit salad was delicious, and the rural view from the room was very peaceful.
Nothing comes to mind.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt Mit tollen Tipps Wir sind lieber draußen statt drinnen Aber hier war daheim bleiben auch schön, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt , Dankeschön ! (Nach einer Reise durch Wohnungen weiß man eine funktionale Küche mit guter Ausstattung und schneidenden Messern zu schätzen - danke hierfür )
The owner was exceptionally helpful. She gave us lifts including to the kayak office and told us much about life in NZ, the impact of their earthquake, and where we could visit. We used the kitchen to prepare food and we enjoyed the breakfast she provided. This was a great time to meet to talk with other travellers and with Judy the owner. It was great sitting on the upstairs veranda which looked out over the fields and hills. Although we were about a km out of town we are walkers and prefer being away from the hustle of the tourist orientated town. Actually we liked walking along the beach both into town and up the coast.
We booked the smallest room as we were on a budget. This was somewhat cramped but we booked it. We understand the other rooms have all been modernised. This did not affect our stay, we enjoyed it and appreciated Judy's kindness.
Comfortable, clean, great facilities. Lovely breakfast and access to a full kitchen for self catering. Supermarket within walking distance. Easy parking and a 2 minute drive to whale watching and town eateries, shops and cinema. A lovely wrap around porch gives views to the mountains. Judy is a wonderful host sharing stories and useful advice and information. Highly recommend.
Es gab eine große Wohnküche, in der man mit den anderen Reisenden zusammen gegessen und erzählt hat
Beautiful view great host.
Judy is a super landlord. There's a big kitchen you can use for dinner
Good location. Great breakfast
L'emplacement
Salle de bain
Nice place to stay at, breakfast alright (toast, butter, fruit salad, yoghurt, cereal and milk), location good if you have a car to get to kaikoura center
My seal swim trip was cancelled and rescheduled for the day we were leaving and I kindly ask if I could just take a shower after the trip which was denied by the owner. Really weird reaction of the owner after staying there for two nights.
Judy is a very hospitable lady who knows the local area very well. The property is easy to find and has good off street parking
Breakfast was plentiful and a great opportunity to meet other guests in the communal dining space. Judy was the perfect host, very friendly and helpful with her local knowledge of the area.
Heat lamp in standard light fitting in bathroom appeared to be possible fire hazard.
Judy was a very kind and knowledgeable host, ready to offer up recommendations and advice. The b&b is located on a quiet side of town with views of the mountains, but you can still walk downtown if you don't mind a bit of a walk. Our room had a private external bathroom, which was nice to have. We were going for a whalewatching trip in the morning, for which the office is just a few minutes drive down the road.
Tout, à commencer par l'accueil de notre charmante hôtesse qui nous a prodigué de nombreux conseils. La chambre avec SDB privative était au top, de même que la terrasse équipée. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et varié (le meilleur pris en NZ) et le matériel de cuisine particulièrement complet et de qualité.
Rien sauf partir.
La vue incroyable sur le champs! Très cosy, bien situé, bon rapport qualité prix et l’hôte était très gentille
Rien du tout
很容易找到所在的位置,房东太太Lucy非常热情健谈,房间里的设施很人性化,可以感觉到房东是在用心的经营。房间一尘不染,看山景的房间可以看到绝美日落,在小阳台上夜里我们拍到了璀璨的银河。真的是非常棒的体验,这让我对凯库拉的印象又好了几分。如果有机会一定会再回到这儿!
无可挑剔
Bon petit déjeuner
Such a lovely, comfortable, clean room and shared bathroom with 1 other room. Lovely views . Judy, the home owner, was welcoming, friendly and provided a lovely breakfast of cereals, yoghurt, fresh home made fruit salad, toast, jams, tea/coffee. Thank you Judy and enjoyed your company as I was travelling alone. Will definitely stay there again.

Very nice
Nice place to stay. Room was of adequate size. Good breakfast. Nice shower with plenty of hot water. Delightful host.
Nothing not to like
Alles perfekt und sauber.
Vriendelijk welkom, mooi uitzicht op de bergen (als het weer goed is😉) en een prima ontbijt, gezellig met enkele gasten aan tafel om reisverhalen te delen
Niets op aan te merken
Very comfy bed and room, Judy is a hospitable and caring host. Great breakfast. Very close to the Whale watching port and the seal colony lookout

Spectacular views. Bedrooms comfortable. Excellent Breakfast!
Judy is a delightful host and runs a well-appointed, comfortable and spotlessly clean establishment. Highly recommend.
Judy was helpful and engaged.
Getting a chance to eat white bait.
Gute und ruhige Lage, ein wenig von der Hauptstrasse zurück versetzt. Schöner Garten, Zimmer mit Veranda mit Blick in die Berge. Sehr sauber und komfortabel. Tolles Frühstück und gute Gespräche mit Judy, der Gastgeberin. Würde dort wieder übernachten, aber dann nicht nur für eine Nacht.
Friendly, comfortable, good value for money
Het uitzicht vanaf het balkon is prachtig! Kleinschalig, met prima kamer en privé badkamer. Gastvrouw Judy is een schat! Het ontbijt was heerlijk.
Helemaal niks
Host Judy was delightful and generous with her time and tips. A hot tub was available and the backyard view was gorgeous.
The twin room was a little tight with very little flat space to put anything on.
Our hostess was very generous and interested to make suggestions and tell us about the culture and highlights in the area.
Our room was quite small and there was a bit of traffic noise.
Quiet
Nice host Comfy bed Clean bathroom
Nothing to complain
Judy è una padrona di casa eccezionale: ci ha accolto a casa sua con tanto calore e simpatia. Ci ha dato tanti consigli utili per visitare la zona di Kaikoura. La colazione è inclusa e viene fatta con tutti gli altri ospiti. Fantastico
Judy als Gastgeberin war perfekt, sie hat uns alles sehr gewissenhaft erklärt oder gezeigt(Sehenswürdigkeiten und Geräte usw.).

Aardige vrouw des huizes gaf veel en goede informatie
Het was niet ruim, maar afdoende
Accueil très agréable. Petit déjeuner très bon, varié. Judy s'adapte aux heures de départ des bateaux. Départ tôt Petit déjeuner servi en conséquence.

Good location. Comfortable
Room upstairs.
Judy was very friendly and helpful, providing advice on local activities. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The location was just a few minutes drive from town which offered a variety of dining options.
The breakfast, although adequate, could have been a bit more adventurous.
Judy is a nice host, breakfast was continental buffet style with fresh fruit salad, cereals, yoghurt and toast and you sit on a big table together with the other guests. Supermarket 500m away, town center a bit far to walk (2kms but along the main road). Friendly and good value for money.
Gastvrouw Judy was heel aardig en behulpzaam. Fijne plek om te verblijven, zeker met het slechte weer.
Niets. Was erg fijn
Lovely friendly host really made our stay at Brook B and B. Judy was so warm and welcoming. We loved our conversations over a 2 day stay. Breakfast was a well provided continental. Lovely quiet location with views to mountains when the clouds allowed.
Nothing really. Our bathroom was across the hallway which wasn't a problem.
