⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kaikoura Boutique Hotel and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities truly sets this hotel apart. The room was impeccably clean and beautifully designed, providing a comfortable and luxurious stay. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the ocean from my room. It was the perfect backdrop to wake up to each morning. Additionally, the hotel's location is ideal for exploring Kaikoura - close to both the beach and town center. The hotel's restaurant offered a delightful culinary experience. The menu was diverse, and the food was expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the local seafood dishes which were fresh and delicious. What truly stood out was the level of service provided by the staff. They were always attentive, ready to assist with any requests, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable stay. I highly recommend the Kaikoura Boutique Hotel to anyone seeking a top-notch experience in Kaikoura. Whether for a romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat, this hotel offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and hospitality. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so wonderful. I look forward to returning in the future.

The visit to Kaiikoura for a couple of days was lovely for relaxation. Worthwhile just to experiece the seafood and in particular the Paua sandwiches. The Crayfish were too highly priced. Scenery is beautiful. We had hopes to eat in Kaikora's best recommended restaurant. But found when turning up there the doors were shut. So we ended up at the local pub Whalers. They recommended us to try their Board special Porterhouse Steak. Compliments to the chef. The chef knows how to cook steak. (and we are foodies). Walking around Kaikoura is the best way appreciate this beautiful place.

A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

We chose this hotel for its proximity to the headland at Kaikōura. It is nestled up against the hill with the beautiful bay in front. The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, a practical kitchenette and a shower that was hot and strong. We appreciated being able to do our washing, and sat on the chairs outside in the sun while we waited. Our hosts were friendly and we appreciated their information about the Seal colony and the Peninsular walk.

This has to be one of the nicest well looked after motels we have stayed at in awhile. It smelt fresh from the moment we walked in. The owners are super lovely and really helpful with everything you need and about the area. Comfortable units with comfortable beds. We definitely want to come stay again.

Motels are okay for quick stopovers but sometimes staying in a B&B is just better. Nice welcome from the host, useful tips on where to eat. Decent breakfast with friendly guests and a scary story from the host about the earthquake a few years back!
