I chose the property as it was within walking distance of the railway station. We arrived in the morning and the proprietor was able to give us our room early. When we departed, his wife kindly drove us to the railway station as it was raining.

We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

We loved it here! Just outside the center of Kaikoura, only 5 minutes from the whale watch. A beautiful garden and a perfect place to relax. There’s even a guest herb garden that we made use of. Jen, thank you for everything, including your great tips for the drive from Kaikoura to Richmond!

Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
