Five-Star Hotels in Kaikoura

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.

Room was a good size and had everything we needed. Parking excellent.

We arrived to Cubby House Stay after 2 weeks at a family wedding in NZ. Visitors from the UK we felt emotional having just said goodbye to family to travel back down to Christchurch airport. We stayed at Cubby House stay for 2 nights to break up our journey and wow what a hidden gem. We booked 2 nights because other reviews had said it is a must to stay more than 1 night. We second that. We would even suggest staying 3 nights + if you can. It is a tranquil retreat. A home from home. We instantly felt comforted and at home. Leanne & Richard are the nicest people you could meet, nothing was too much trouble or too much to ask. We didn’t want for anything. The cubby house was supplied with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. Food supplies so much so we didn’t have to go to a shop whilst there. Fresh hen eggs from the chickens. Toys galore for our 10 month old to keep her entertained, high chair, safety gate, every thing you’d need at home for a baby. For us the comfiest bed that was sprayed with lavender pillow spray to help us relax & unwind. We had the best nights sleep we’d had for nearly 3 weeks! It didn’t feel like being in a hotel bed with hotel pillows, it felt like sleeping at home. The biggest comfiest sofa you sink into to watch a movie. We had breakfast al fresco. The views were breath taking, we could see the whole coast line, at night the stars lit up the night sky, we’d wake to bird song, & Brian the peacock perched on the balcony to wish us good morning & the goats and freckle the pig would race down the side of his fence to greet us excitedly, Shelly and Mabel the ducks too. As we’d drive in and out the turkeys hoppy and Trevor would greet us on the driveway. Leanne & Richard kindly took us on a full tour of the place and introduced us to all the animals which our daughter absolutely loved! It was great fun & I’ve never seen a cow so big as Jesus the giant 6ft + cow. You honestly couldn’t beat this place.

Location like no other!! The most comfy bed ever! A must do!

Very friendly staff and an easy check in process. The apartment is clean and well maintained. Everything you could possibly need is there. All the details have been considered. The views of the mountains especially in the morning are stunning. This made the stay at this amazing town even better.
