A lovely old traditional hotel with a very good dining room and bar. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking out over the bay and sitting at the picnic tables in the warm sun. We could have stayed longer.

    We went on the whale watch and the tour was very informative and saw lots of wild life, whales, seals, birds including an albatross and 2 different species of dolphins. I will always have this as a beautiful memory on our trip to New Zealand ❤️

    Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed!

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

    Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.

    The seal colony on the northern coast at Ohau Point was a great stop on the way to Kaikoura - we saw baby seals feeding, lots of seal frolicking in the water and on the beach. We walked to South Bay lookout and around the headland to Kaikoura beach as the coastline is spectacular. More seals and birds on this beach. Good 8km walk. Food at the hotel along the road was good and drinks on the verandah to watch the sunset was great.

    The owners of the hotel were so friendly and welcoming that we immediately felt at home. There are beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces at the hotel to gather with friends. Rooms are comfortable, quirky and have everything needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel’s location is fabulous, right on the beach and within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and pubs. The breakfast was wonderful. We loved our stay at Kaikōura Boutique Hotel

    The setting is divine. All staff helpful and sincere. The hotel is authentic and comfortable As Kaikoura is rediscovered and renovations continue it may become more expensive and in greater demand. I feel lucky we have stayed when The Pier is perhaps at it's very best! Thank you everyone. We so enjoyed everything about our Kaikoura stay and The Pier.

    Well located along the state highway. Very clean and well kept. Beautiful backyard view of the Kaikoura mountains. The hotel is very thoughtful - there are small things like a fresh pair of ear plugs by your bed side and a well propped multi socket charging bar on your bedside table.
