Lovely!
Hotel was lovely! The hosts are lovely and super accommodating. Only issue is the internet isn’t stable for streaming. Otherwise, breakfast was superb and location is premium. Would stay again!

The new owners seem set to make travellers feel special during their stays here.
Caroline, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Have stayed several times in the smaller ground floor courtyard units, which are great but this time upgraded ourselves to a Junior Suite in the main building that was well worth doing. It not only provided more spacious accommodation but we really enjoyed using the private deck with sea views. New owners John & Deb very friendly and welcoming, so we hope to return in the near future.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet and peaceful location along the Kaikoura shoreline, right at the entrance to Tom's Walk. Parking is plentiful, with some dedicated parking spaces for guests off the main strip. Very beautiful inner courtyard for all of the rooms and also there is a cute bar and restaurant for guests.
Chung Hin Aaron, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Owners were wonderful. There is a bar onsite which offered nice wines and beers. Property location convenient and in a quiet area. Room and bathroom was very small - I wish I had opted for a larger one.
Gail, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The courtyard was lovely and colourful, potted flowering plants and other very attractive plantings.
Gail, 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

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.
