I checked in late so unfortunately wasn't able to check in in person but the hosts left welcoming and clear instructions for me. The studio was extremely clean and comfy and overall a pleasant stay :)

Location was perfect for walking to the Seal Colony along the path and the beach . The front Desk hours were very limited and the breakfast left a bit to be desired . But the location and the quaint courtyard make up for its downfalls.

Enjoyed the whale watching tour - the day was reasonably calm so no one was seasick thank goodness. Staff were informatiive and shared the story of the whales and dolphins. The map showing us the travel route was very helpful to understand the trnech and which direction and area we were headed to.

Kaikoura is a 2 hr drive from our home, so we regularly visit for long weekends. It's a special part of NZ where people and nature can interact. There's something special about how the mountains meet the sea. And of course the fresh seafood is spectacular

WhaleWatch trip was very good.
WhaleWatch trip was very good. Great cafes: Flo and Co has excellent coffee. Sime's Kitchen had great breakfast and lunch - vegan choices were delicious. Tipsy Foodies also recommended. Southern Paua shop and factory highly recommended - amazing range of jewellery, carvings and gifts. Some exquisite pounamu too. Best place to buy gifts in Kaikoura!!
Novel Findings is a great bookshop and homewares shop - don't miss it!
Loved the Ngāi Tahu artworks beside the highway, murals on the railway bridge and buildings. It's really worth checking the "Neat Places Kaikoura" website - lots of great suggestions for cool places and things to do in Kaikoura.

The wild life was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. I went swimming with dolphins and saw load of seals with their pups.
Also the people in the town are super friendly and helpful.
Of course the scenery is also breathtaking.
Loads of nice eating places that serve great seafood.

Very easy to find way to attractions,town lovely and clean.Plenty of eating places,ones we used were all excellent and value for money.Only thing we regretted was we missed the Whale Watch tour as it was blowing hard both full days we were there and there were no sailings.Will have to go back again.
We stayed 4 nights at Cubby House and it was hard to leave. Leanne & Richard are excellent hosts, friendly & knowledgeable of the area.
Cubby House is cozy, quirky & filled with everything you need for your stay - kitchen & bath amenities, games & comfort.
The distance to Kaikōura is easy and looking out the windows you can see the ocean & mountains.
We had a wonderful stay here and would not change a thing.
We one hundred percent recommend Cubby House! Thank you.
A fabulous stay at the Kaikoura Quality Suites. The rooms were spotless, and smelt fresh. The rooms came with a cute wee kitchenette with utensils to make it easy to prepare a snack and something warm. As we stayed on a glorious warm weekend the outside area and chair and table were perfect and peaceful for a break from the Kaikoura activities. This Hotel is close to the supermarket and a nice stretch of the legs to walk into town ( about 1.5km)
No breakfast studio flat. Walking distance to train & Whale Watching. Everything I needed in the studio flat. Separate kitchen with all the gadgets I needed (like a can opener, cutting board, microwave bowls etc) which I haven't got in all the other motels stayed in hence the high praise & the fridge was in the closed kitchen - lovely nights sleep thank you.
Stunning location, with incredible views from our room. Tony and Barb were very accommodating hosts, and the room was very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. The motel is a very short distance from all the major things to do and see in Kaikoura, would highly recommend.
The location was great, but it was somewhat hard to find. This is a full on hostel that happens to have a couple of private double rooms. The location in the morning was spectacular! Near the beach and views of the Kaikoura Mountains with snow caps!
i love the location. its a front beach property and near from the train and bus station. If you wanna stay here, i suggest you to book a Kaikoura taxi from your current location (e.g from train station to the hotel).
New and tidy hotel just by the water in Kaikoura. Specious rooms with big windows so even without sea view you could get a glimpse of the sea. Nice little pool on the property. Friendly and helpful staff.
Tv in each room. Often motels look fantastic on websites but are actually not as advertised, but in this instance the unit was beautifully presented. The kitchen is a great size with a full size fridge.
Beautiful place to stay. Great space for 2 adult's and 3 teenagers. Right across the road from the beach and a short walk to the shops. Loved Kaikoura will definitely be back to stay at the White Morph.
Excellent communication from the Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments team. Delighted to find an incredibly clean, warm, and well appointed two bedroom apartment with views of the water. Highly recommend.
The Kaikoura peaks emotel was a lovely place to stay. We were very happy with the room, it was warm, clean and very homely. Totally recommend staying here.
