Beautiful property. Lovely grounds and right across from the beach. Helpful with getting dining reservations and very friendly staff. The rooms are quaint, but had all the amenities you need. Would stay here again!
Benjamin, 1-night trip

Nice comfortable clean room with spacious bathroom, in a lovely quiet little courtyard at the rear of the hotel. Easy 10 mins walk into town. Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here.
Denis, 3-night trip

This is a very nice spot in Kaikoura. Our room was small but comfortable for two people and had everything we needed. The host was so nice and helpful! Highly recommend!

This Hotel is just lovely! View of the sea from the front common rooms which are the Cafe and lounge/bar area. Wonderful friendly and helpful staff. Great bed! We enjoyed our time there. Would certainly stay again.

The rooms were beautifully decorated, although small
Linda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There were 7 units that opened up to a beautiful courtyard outside with flowers and other plantings. It was quite charming and secluded. Across the street from the hotel was a walkway along the bay and a beautiful view. The units were cozy and well decorated.
terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very cramped room around an outside courtyard. Nicely decorated. Very small area for coffee nook & refrigerator. Tiny bathroom. Kaikoura is beautiful & the hotel is across from the ocean, so nicely located.
Phyllis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Even though our courtyard room had no view, the room was quiet, well-appointed and clean

8/10 Very good

Brief but great

Only stayed 1 night. Arrived late so key was in lockbox for us. Had to leave early for our dolphin encounter so unfortunately didn’t get to meet owners. Place was comfy though with everything you could need & great location.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pleasant staff, but the courtyard bedroom was small and the bathroom cramped to say the least. Considering most visitors were in transit and had a lot of luggage there wasn’t any room to spread out. ‘Glamorous breakfast’ was a stretch! Coffee, juice and eggs were good but in a country that prides itself on fresh produce why was the fruit tinned?
Sue, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was ok. Nothing special. The outside is cute, as is the garden. The lobby area is nice. Rooms are tiny and lack soundproofing. There are no screens on the windows, which probably explains the insects in the room and bites I woke up with. There’s not a single shelf or drawer to put clothes in. The shower is contiguous with the bathroom so everything gets wet when the shower is used. The check-in staff person was probably tired when we got there at 5:30 but in any event she seemed to know nothing about the area and was just in a hurry for us to leave. I’m still giving it a 3 because it met basic expectations.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely property within walking distance to bars and restaurants. The owner was lovely and very helpful, we would definitely stay here again to do another whale watching tour!
Lauren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location in Kaikoura

Great stay in a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. We saw 2 great sunrises and enjoyed 2 evenings on the balcony. The bed was comfortable and the room quite large. The bathroom was spacious, as was the shower.
Patrick, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very pleasant stay, great location, very helpful staff. Got a great recommendation on where to have dinner, Donegal House. I generally don’t enjoy tourist towns but Kaikoura is an exception. When you book a room, check out its dimensions.
