I arrived about 8:30pm and a very nice woman greeted me and spent time sharing knowledge of the area. She was most helpful all around, I greatly appreciated it as a long day of driving and hiking!

Close to town, kitchenette allowed us to do our own cooking. Would be nice to add a frying pan and a large bowl to kitchen however! Very spacious and modern. Would definitely stay again.

Really nice experience. Room had everything well thought out as to what a traveller might need. Comfortable bed and beautifully clean throughout. Units were arranged around a kind of central area and had a laundry with both washer and dryer available. Close to the rest of Kaikoura which is a lovely place to stop with many shops close to the hotel. Highly recommend

Friendly and helpful staff. Accommodation was good but alittle cold. There was a heater but it was noisy and no electric blanket. On the plus side, the accommodation is very convenient to the main street shops and restaurants. I would stay again - just when it's abit warmer.

Property was ok, on a major road ( 1 ) and was noisy with trucks going past, power points behind the bed not accessible. Only plus point was the spa in the bathroom. Will look for other accomodation next time.
