When we first arrived, we were a little surprised by how compact the unit was—but that quickly changed. The space is really well appointed and turned out to be the perfect size for our stay. It was super clean, comfortable, and ideal for a one-night stopover. We appreciated the convenience of direct check-in, and it was a lovely touch to be personally greeted by the manager when we arrived. Friendly people and a great location made for a very pleasant stay. Would happily return!

Rooms are spacious, clean and good looking but if you stay in winter than consider other options. The room was generally cold and the bathroom hotrail and heating fan were both out of order, considering the vent windows that couldn't be properly shut we had 8 degrees in the morning, not really what you would expect for 200$

Only stayed the one night but the room was excellent, clean and comfortable and had a great view from our lounge area but that did mean that walkers could look in from the roadway.

Since it was raining during our entire time in Kaikoura we were bound in the 4 walls of our room. Even with the heater on it was cold. There was a fridge but no microwave. Overall the space was incovenient.

We only had one night here but it was perfect! The room was very clean and tidy, bathroom was quite new looking and pristine. It had everything we needed. The best part was arriving to a beautifully prepared, pre-warmed room after hours of driving. Extra thanks to the thoughtful staff who gave us this lovely welcome!
