Arrived late so key was in lockbox for us. Had to leave early for our dolphin encounter so unfortunately didn’t get to meet owners. Place was comfy though with everything you could need & great location. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sue 8 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Pleasant staff, but the courtyard bedroom was small and the bathroom cramped to say the least. Considering most visitors were in transit and had a lot of luggage there wasn’t any room to spread out. ‘Glamorous breakfast’ was a stretch! Coffee, juice and eggs were good but in a country that prides itself on fresh produce why was the fruit tinned? ##### Sue Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa 13 Nov 2023 The property was ok. Nothing special. The outside is cute, as is the garden. The lobby area is nice. Rooms are tiny and lack soundproofing. There are no screens on the windows, which probably explains the insects in the room and bites I woke up with. There’s not a single shelf or drawer to put clothes in. The shower is contiguous with the bathroom so everything gets wet when the shower is used. The check-in staff person was probably tired when we got there at 5:30 but in any event she seemed to know nothing about the area and was just in a hurry for us to leave. I’m still giving it a 3 because it met basic expectations. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peri 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sweet little property ##### Peri Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Len 25 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly owners ##### Len Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hubert 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Kein Meerblick.Frühstück gut ##### Hubert Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 4 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place very convenient and helpful staff ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely property within walking distance to bars and restaurants.

We saw 2 great sunrises and enjoyed 2 evenings on the balcony. The bed was comfortable and the room quite large. The bathroom was spacious, as was the shower. ##### Patrick Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### CAMPBELL 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A very pleasant stay, great location, very helpful staff. Got a great recommendation on where to have dinner, Donegal House. I generally don’t enjoy tourist towns but Kaikoura is an exception. When you book a room, check out its dimensions. ##### CAMPBELL Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [B&B Worcester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d5485-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Evenia Olympic Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Evenia-Olympic-Suites.h1206238.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Birmingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Birmingham.h84017.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Bodrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Villas.d745-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Wellness Hotel Step](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-WELLNESS-HOTEL-STEP.h2589280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Skanda Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skanda-Vale-Hotels.0-l553248634855461909-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h2541842.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Kigali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kigali-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Kigali.h78005462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riva by Aycon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petrovac-Hotels-Hotel-Riva-By-Aycon.h18378342.Hotel-Information) > > [Winery Hotels in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenerife-Hotels-Winery-Hotels.0-0-d6047194-tWineryHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo La Nucía Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Nucia-Hotels-Barcelo-La-Nucia-Hills.h63875189.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Ring](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemer-Hotels-Grand-Ring.h11634692.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/England-Villas.d11218-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Hannover (HAJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/haj/london-to-hannover) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/yyz/london-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Avis at 145 Battersea Park Road London GBR](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avis-at-145-Battersea-Park-Road-London-GBR.v22608.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) > > [Car hire in Rushden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Rushden.d6156473.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Naples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Naples-Intl.d5259598.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Auckland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Auckland.d178233.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in County Armagh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-County-Armagh.d6054324.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Procida Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Procida.d602121.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Betancuria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betancuria.dx6152387) > > [Visit Freshford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Freshford.dx3000011439)
