We stayed in the aeonium apartment which doesnt have a sea view but is still in a great location in the lovely garden. The apartment was clean spacious and had kettle, toaster, nespresso machine and fridge. An excellent continental style breakfast is self service in the shared kitchen between 8 and 9am. Staff and other buests were feally friendly

This is a beautiful b b in the picturesque town of Kaikoura. We had an ocean view room with a balcony that was just mesmerizing. With an early start one morning for whale watching, the staff was more than accommodating, giving us a breakfast tray the day before.

Great view from our ocean-facing room. It was a cool night and they eqipped the room with an electric heater, so it was cozy. Breakfast provided several options for a continental service with tea and coffee in the room.

This is the most beautiful bed and breakfast, with the most incredible view. The location is perfect and walkable into the down town. We woke up early for the sunrise and it was the most spectacular sight. The accommodations are clean, comfortable, and cozy. Our biggest regret was only staying one night. We traveled all over the country but our minds kept going back to kaikoura and this location was a big part of why we felt that way.

No problems at all. Room was ready with the key in it. The view of the ocean and snow capped mountains was what we saw in bed when we woke up. Convenient to everything in tow and the area. You can’t go wrong trust me

No instructions prior to check-in, finally found a note on the door to advise which room we were assigned (key in the room door) and assigned parking spot. Breakfast was cafeteria trays in the kitchen - not sure if we were supposed to take these back to our room to eat?? Too cold and windy to sit outside. We left and went into town for breakfast. Great views, room nicely appointed, but you have to drive everywhere. It was not a very “friendly” experience at all!
