Great hotel just meters from the ocean! We were kindly upgraded to a studio room which was spacious and clean. The kitchen included a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge and there was a dining table and chairs too. Tea, coffee and milk was provided and our stay was relaxing and comfortable.

We found it hard to keep warm, though admittedly it was an exceptionally cold night. Entry into the bathroom was very tight. On a previous visit we must have stayed in a bigger unit, as we would not have wanted to stay in this one again.

Great location across from the waterfront. Friendly owners. Quiet at night. Nice amenities provided. However it is well worn and the refrigerator was dirty. But I would stay there again.

Great stay - very clean and quiet, spacious room, across the road from the beach and not far to walk into town. BBQ was useful for cooking dinners. Would definitely stay again if we're in Kaikoura.

Rather run down property but ok for a night. Room had a musty smell or possibly from a dog. Poor WiFi. Good location.
