Sudima Kaikoura

8/10 Good
"Loved view of water & accommodations. Happy hour crew need a little more training. When bringing apps to table, also bring flatware & napkins. Tables had remnants from previous guests that were not removed & tables needed to be wiped. It was not busy so no reason to not be clean. Still enjoyed & would highly suggest to stay here."
