Lovely room overlooking gorgeous gardens and places to relax. The owner, Jen, told me TE MAHURU means a place of rest and renewal, and that it was. Hosts are fantastic and the place is perfect for serenity. We really enjoyed the hot tub and star- gazing too, as this spot is one of only 23 designated Dark Sky observation spots in the world. Truly a unique and lovely experience all around. Good breakfast too.

Te Mahuru is a most exceptional, beautiful, very clean and overall, a perfect place to stay. Jen went out of her way to be accommodating and we give thanks t the highest rating possible. The gardens and views were spectacular, the hot tubs were lovely and very clean and the breakfast was delicious. Homemade bread each morning and plenty of great choices. The patio off our room was very private and comfortable for sitting with a cup of tea gazing at the beautiful mountains in the background. Overall, this was our favorite place to stay on our trip.

Te Mahuru Tetreat is a jewel in Kaikoura’s crown. A perfect location, easy to get to and not far out of Kaikōura itself.
The accommodation provides a high standard of facilities and is immaculate.
It provided everything we need for our stay and the use of the hot tub and do some star gazing is phenomenal - a must if you are staying at Te Mahuru Retreat.
Nothing is too much for the host and the breakfast is well catered.
We had a very comfortable and relaxing staying, the only thing is we wished we had stayed for longer.
You will not be disappointed and would highly recommend this accommodation if you are staying in Kaikoura and the surrounding area.

This is a perfect little retreat in Kaikoura. The location is great— a very short drive to the town and sights, but in a lovely and quiet location. We really enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere at Te Mahuru... The shared kitchen space is fantastic for laid-back dinners, and the included breakfast was very nice (it also makes your morning more relaxed— one less thing to plan!). The owners of Te Mahuru are there for any of your needs and have plenty of expert, local advice. We would happily stay here again, and highly recommend this for both couples or families.

Overall average stay, the view was spectacular and the ground were well kept, however I felt this place was way over priced. the room was pretty bare and simple - no tissues, bathroom products or even hooks for towels, bad pillows. we had an issue with hot water but they did fix it. I would not recommend based on price.
