Awatea Country B&B

Nothing

Lovely property in beautiful location between beach and mountains. Easy drive into the town. Kevin, our host, provided delicious cooked breakfasts and was very entertaining with a great sense of humour. Our room and bathroom were spacious and had a lovely sitting area outside. We loved Kevin’s dogs and pigs.

Very comfortable stay. Very genial hosts. Excellent breakfast of fruit, yoghurt and pancakes/crepes followed by a cooked breakfast and toast. Our room was very clean, comfortable and spacious, with a large shared seating area immediately outside. There is also a large shared lounge (where breakfast is served) to sit and enjoy tea, coffee, etc. It's possible to interact with the owner's lovely dog and the kunekune pigs. The property is a short drive outside Kiakoura - very easy to get to the whale watching trip

Great host and his dog, great views and walkable trails nearby. The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of nice space to hang out in. The host was also knowledgeable of things to do in the area and kind. If you're looking for a classic BnB experience, this is it!

Really enjoyed our couple of nights here. Great facilities, comfy room, amazing breakfast and great company! We also loved meeting the animals. Short ride out of town to a very peaceful spot. Easy to find with lots of room for parking. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

What a gem of a find. Very clean and amazingly comfortable beds. Breakfast was second to none. Very friendly host. We only stayed for a night as travelling through but would have an extra night or two if we'd known how nice a stay this would be. Thank you

We had a fabulous stay. The hosts are amazing accommodating people. The breakfast is next level. We also enjoyed a walk around the property to see the alpaca, pigs and baby lambs

Awesome property to relax. Facilities were great. Just comfort of the bed the only thing causing overall rating to drop. Bed probably fine for one person but not great for two as it ended up on a lean and base was a bit wobbly.

very welcoming and friendly host happy to help with information

Absolutely brilliant stay it could not have been bettered. Great hosts who could not have done any more for us, comfortably bed and amazing breakfast.

This is a beautiful property, less than 10 minutes from the center of Kaikoura. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. The breakfast is amazing, with coffee, tea and snacks always available. The owners (Kevin and Ann) are gracious and very friendly. All in all, it's perfect!

This is an exceptional B and B. Amazing hosts, beautiful outlook of the sea and Kaikoura ranges, fabulous rooms and a breakfast that was beyond anything you can imagine. I loved the very well stoked tea and coffee station and the use of the fridge/freezer. It was hard to leave this amazing property along with all it's wonderful farmyard friends.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely clean rooms and dog friendly. The host family are very welcoming and accommodating, including the "host dogs"! The breakfast is first class, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thankyou :)

We had a wonderful stay here. Staff are great, room was great, food was delicious. Convenient to State Highway 1.

Clean B and B with loquacious and charming host Friendly and lovely breakfast super helpful and relaxing

Wonderful grounds, extremely well set up for dogs, and the breakfast was amazing!

Great hosts, property and experience.

Kevin and Ann are very hospitable. We love our stay here and will definitely be back. Beautiful place and farm where kids can play around. Big space and not far from town.

Really lovely stay, appreciated that the owner personally took us round the farm, so my six month old son could meet the pigs, alpaca's, geese, cows and other livestock, had a lively puppy as well. Breakfast was terrific and the owner was always friendly and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone and we would stay there again.

That’s awesome B&B I have never stayed before. Awesome view, quiet place, friendly owner, adorable animals. So cool.

Set in farmland with animals close by it was a great stop over, close to beaches and Kaikoura. Lovely gardens and patio

Great host, wonderful breakfast, just a few minutes out of town and well worth it!!! Great few of the ocean, very comfortable room and private bath, really enjoyed our stay!!

We had an excellent stay at the Awatea Country B&B. Our host Kevin was friendly, helpful and professional. The B&B is spacious and Quite nice - just a few minute drive from town. Breakfast was tasty, our room with bath was comfy, and getting to help feed the animals was fun! We highly recommend Awatea Country B&B.

Pleasant owner. Poor breakfast and Very Very simple Room. Nota worth the price.

We stayed for a night with our young baby and were impressed with the hospitality and cleanliness. Attention to detail in the room was great as was the wonderful breakfast. Will stay again if we are in the area!

Beautiful place, clean, owner is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Easy to get around.

Lovely seeing nice big room and bathroom. User of larger lounge and dining area. Great breakfast with freshly laid eggs from the owners chickens

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. Kevin the owner was an ex policeman and was an interesting chap to talk to about the earthquake life and everything. He cooked us a great breakfast each morning and was very helpful. We enjoyed feeding his pigs chickens and alpacas with him. Was a very comfortable house and has a lovely garden with stunning views of the mountains.

Alison, Walnut and the Borfer Collie Clean comfortable cosy

Immaculate room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful proprietor who took care not to intrude.

Excellent stay and first class hospitality. The room was big, the bathroom spacious and beds really comfortable

Great stay in a lovely room amongst the gardens and paddocks. It’s a little out of town but if you have a car or bike that’s not a problem.

Clean and friendly manager. Location good-----------------------

A lovely B&B, located within easy reach of Kaikoura. Our room was spacious, clean and the bed comfy. We’d stay another night if we could.

quiet location just 6km north of Kaikoura. Wonderful host great brealfast.

Alison was a superb hostess, meeting , greeting and provided a very pleasant atmosphere! Quiet location , but still near to Kaikoura. Availability of drinks , coffee , tea , water at all times. Very clean and with comfortable beds .Feeling of space.. and the 2 very friendly dogs! Highly recommended!

Pros: the owner, Allison (warm, welcoming, helping), comfort, meticulously clean. Cons: hard to think of any. Perhaps having coffee in a large pot rather than a single brewer would be helpful. Not a big deal!

Very. Nice indeed and perfect spot for a pleasant stay to break a long trip. Close to the township of Kaikoura with many interesting shops and attractions. Alison, the host could not have been nicer and we thoroughly enjoyed.our time there. Generous breakfast and to top it off was coffee George Clooney style ! Welook forward to our next stay. Ver

Nice rural environment - great that the owner would accomodate our dog.

Lovely rural location. Alison was a wonderful welcoming hostess. Room very comfortable. Breakfast amazing.

Nice quiet place to stay Good breakfast nice big room

Very quiet, off the road, pleasant host. Beautiful home.

This was a lovely B & B located on a farm a few kilometers from a seaside town. The host was friendly and welcoming . She recommended a fabulous restaurant for our dinner. We watched baby ducklings on the property and were awakened in to morning by the crowing of a rooster, It was charming.

Good location. Warm welcome. Comfortable accommodation. Good sitting out areas. Interesting menagerie of animals. Well worth a visit!

My husband and I only got to spend one night here, but it was really great. Check in was easy, the room was perfectly clean and super comfortable, and breakfast was also really good. We would highly recommend staying here.

Friendly welcome, farm setting. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. A short distance to town and beach facilities.

This is a lovely B&B on a small farm at the foot of the stunning mountains. On arrival you are greeted by the host as well as her friendly dogs; you can wander around to see the chickens, ducks, horses, pigs & llamas or be entertained by the Border Collie entertaining himself by rounding up the chickens & ducks. As part of the continental breakfast you enjoy a boiled egg laid by those chickens! It is only a 5 minute drive into town where you can leave on a whale watch tour, & in another 5 minutes you are at the nearby seal colony.
