Truly incredible hotel with amazing service! Our room was absolutely gorgeous and the view of the ocean, trees and mountains from our room was amazing! Comfortable and clean and just lovely. And we had a fabulous meal at the restaurant, Hiku, last night.

The location of the Sudima is great, amazing views of the water. Facilities beautiful, very clean and tidy. The staff there a fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the room has no windows that opened which for us felt a little claustrophobic, we asked the staff if there was anyway we could change to a different room and they could not be more helpful. Within minutes we had a room with a sliding door onto a balcony which was amazing with beautiful views across the water and a spectacular sunrise. Will 💯 stay again and definitely recommend to anybody

Family trip to Kaikoura
Good clean, new room. Con: buffet breakfast too expensive $35 for adult and $20 per child. Family of four would cost $110 for just a breakfast. Need another mirror and rubbish bin in the room.

Ask for a north-facing room for sun and a view
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The staff provided understated excellence in all aspects of service. The food & bar service was terrific. And the bed was the most comfortable I have experienced in a long time. I loved the use of Te Reo Maori around the hotel for signage. My only suggestion would be to separate the restaurant side off from the bar side of Hiku - as we didn’t want to spend my birthday dinner listening to rugby. And please teach all bar staff to make all the cocktails on your menu. I had wanted to try two, but the staff member didn’t know how to make one of them. I’ll definitely be back - hopefully in summer so I can try the pool.
