Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Waterfront apartments were a great location, set with views of the ocean and mountains. Facilities are clean, modern and well functioning. Parking included and easy go access. Would recommend!"

"Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious rooms"

Alpine View Motel

"This recently renovated property had friendly owners, was spacious and quiet. Would recommend for travellers on a budget."

The White Morph - Heritage Collection

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff,proximity to town,clean & warm. Only negative was disability bathroom not draining and always wet."

Country Cottage Delight in the Hurunui. (Spotswood/Cheviot)

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful stay. The gardens were immaculate, the cottage was spotless, and it had everything we could possibly have needed. Lesley had even turned the heat pump and electric blanket on before we arrived, so the whole place was wonderfully warm and cosy when we walked in — such a thoughtful touch.Communication was exceptionally quick, easy and friendly from beginning to end. We also really appreciated how genuinely welcome our dog was. She had a beautiful time exploring and relaxing with us, which made the stay even more special.A gorgeous, peaceful place that has clearly been cared for with a great deal of thought. We would very happily stay again!"

Kaikoura Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location and beautiful views. right on the beach."

Mondello Kaikoura

8/10 Good

"Clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. My only complaint was that there was not a normal frying pan."

Alpine-pacific Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend Alpine pacific as a solo traveller. It’s affordable, clean and has friendly staff. There is a large section in the centre of the property with bathrooms and showers that were tidy and clean, as well as a laundry room and kitchen (if you’re planning to cook I recommend bringing your own cutlery and pans etc as there is a bit of a lack of it). When I arrived my room I booked online was a suite more suited to if you have your own caravan and I asked the girl at the reception if I could change it and it was no issue at all, she was very straight forward and helpful. The ensuite room I had was warm and tidy when I arrived. The bathroom is a decent size as well. There were also electric blankets on the bed which were very pleasant. The property is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre but it’s a very simple and flat walk. It’s inbetween a BP & Night n day so you have easy access to snacks as well. I’d definitely return here for any future stays I highly enjoyed my time here. My favourite part was listening to the crashing waves of the beach as I fell asleep."
