Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a charming garden hut set around a lovely quiet, flower-filled courtyard which was part of a bar/cafe establishment. The rooms offer a view of the courtyard but lack television and WIFI reception. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach and with stunning sea views. The dining experience was satisfying, offering a good variety of options. The facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall pleasant stay.
The hotel offers small but nicely decorated rooms with some useful amenities like a mini-bar and kettle. The service is exceptional, with friendly and informative staff providing great recommendations for activities in and around Kaikoura. The location is perfect, right across the street from the ocean and within walking distance to local restaurants. The dining options are decent, although some improvements could be made. Overall, a pleasant stay with excellent service.
After a long drive due to road closure, I arrived at a beautiful hotel with elegant rooms. The friendly service stood out, but the room's size felt overpriced. The location by the beach was breathtaking.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-appointed, though I missed out on the stunning views from the garden room. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for exploring the town and enjoying serene views. The dining experience was pleasant, but the breakfast options were basic. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
The hotel's charming courtyard rooms are lovely and quiet, offering a delightful stay. The rooms are new, adequately sized, and feature a huge bathroom with heated towel racks and floors. However, storage space is limited for longer stays.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beautiful courtyard rooms offered a stunning view of the ocean, and waking up to the sound of crashing waves was magical. The service was top-notch, with valuable recommendations to explore Kaikoura. The location was fantastic, just across the road from the beach where I even spotted dolphins playing. The dining experience was good, especially the barista coffee and selection of food. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
