We had a short stay, but Jonny and Deb were fantastic hosts. The room had a magnificent view, and was very clean and updated. If you are staying in Kaikōura, stay here!

Michael, Christchurch

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.

Quaint little property. Cozy courtyard garden. The beach is right opposite. The staff were only available between like 9am to 6pm, but did share instructions for late check-in

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
