Five-Star Hotels in Kaikoura

Beautiful place, nice location (outside town but if you want quiet place, it’s perfect). Room was really nice and modern. We liked it there.

This was the best motel we ever had on our trip in NZ. The very nice owner couple are doing their best to fulfill wishes of their guests.

We arrived to Cubby House Stay after 2 weeks at a family wedding in NZ. Visitors from the UK we felt emotional having just said goodbye to family to travel back down to Christchurch airport. We stayed at Cubby House stay for 2 nights to break up our journey and wow what a hidden gem. We booked 2 nights because other reviews had said it is a must to stay more than 1 night. We second that. We would even suggest staying 3 nights + if you can. It is a tranquil retreat. A home from home. We instantly felt comforted and at home. Leanne & Richard are the nicest people you could meet, nothing was too much trouble or too much to ask. We didn’t want for anything. The cubby house was supplied with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. Food supplies so much so we didn’t have to go to a shop whilst there. Fresh hen eggs from the chickens. Toys galore for our 10 month old to keep her entertained, high chair, safety gate, every thing you’d need at home for a baby. For us the comfiest bed that was sprayed with lavender pillow spray to help us relax & unwind. We had the best nights sleep we’d had for nearly 3 weeks! It didn’t feel like being in a hotel bed with hotel pillows, it felt like sleeping at home. The biggest comfiest sofa you sink into to watch a movie. We had breakfast al fresco. The views were breath taking, we could see the whole coast line, at night the stars lit up the night sky, we’d wake to bird song, & Brian the peacock perched on the balcony to wish us good morning & the goats and freckle the pig would race down the side of his fence to greet us excitedly, Shelly and Mabel the ducks too. As we’d drive in and out the turkeys hoppy and Trevor would greet us on the driveway. Leanne & Richard kindly took us on a full tour of the place and introduced us to all the animals which our daughter absolutely loved! It was great fun & I’ve never seen a cow so big as Jesus the giant 6ft + cow. You honestly couldn’t beat this place.

Location like no other!! The most comfy bed ever! A must do!

everything, the view, no service, the glass roof to watch the stars

Very nice place with nice host. Old factory facility but with super modern decoration. Enjoy the stay very much !

Location and facilities were excellent. The views are beautiful, too

Incredibly friendly hosts and breakfast was fantastic.

The accommodation is well-kept and the interior is well-thought of. Such a lovely location, had an awesome view of the ocean. Definitely great value for money.

Very friendly staff and an easy check in process. The apartment is clean and well maintained. Everything you could possibly need is there. All the details have been considered. The views of the mountains especially in the morning are stunning. This made the stay at this amazing town even better.
