Friendly owners on site who assisted when needed and are happy to offer up suggestions concerning the local area i.e Restaurant options. Ample parking for guests. The units themselves are more spacious than you think, and if the weather is good - there is a lovely courtyard to sit in. You’re also only a very short drive or a 10/15 minute walk into the town area.

Loved that it’s dog friendly but still quality accomodation. We are a family that likes to take our dog everywhere with us but don’t always want to camp. Really comfortable we will definitely stay again when in the area. 😊

    A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

    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! 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 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

    This is one of the best motels we have stayed at in a long time. Staff were friendly, and the place was spotless and smelled lovely. The pillows, linen, and beds were so comfortable and high quality. It was quiet. The shower was like a massage, and the products provided were nice. There's a sea and mountain view from upstairs apartments. We were all impressed.
