Pleasant stay
We had a relaxing enjoyable stay and chose the buffet breakfast option when making our booking. Our room had an ocean balcony view, with comfortable furnishings. The buffet breakfast options were great and the staff friendly and very helpful. During our stay, James was particularly helpful when responding to requests including resolving a room WiFi issue for us. A recommended stay in Kaikoura.

The Lady who greeted us was so lovely we’d been travelling for hours and our room was ready so she let us in a little earlier than booked. The view from our room was mountains and ocean, couldn’t ask for more than that. The swimming pool was lovely as were our rooms. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable.

Nice, but no room amenities
Well appointment and well kept hotel, we found the check in staff pleasant but rather brisk, we asked for a room with a view (ie: the sea), were told “you’re allocated a side room so you have a view of the mountains” (in reality a road and a car park with mountains in the far far distance. No attempt to accommodate our request whatsoever. She then tried to sell us dinner at the hotel. The room was modern and comfortable, but lacked so much. No coffee maker, no mirror except one in the bathroom, no water (basic), no amenity kits, - just the room with a bed in it, a comfortable bed it must be said. At such a high price for the room, I frankly expected more. We have just arrived at another Sudima hotel which was less than two thirds of the price and has everything the Kaikoura property lacks. In my opinion, unlike the hotel we’re in now, Sudima Kaikoura was not worth the money.
