Great property in the quieter end of town. Excellent facilities. Opposite the beach. Parking to hand. Highly recommended.

Note the check in details from Expedia are not quite correct. check-in is 2-6pm and reception reopens at 2. Expedia says reception is only open until 10am. The email I received the night before from the property regarding check in went to junk mail.

First. The check in was easy and the staff was very helpful. Five stars for that. The room was clean and the view as advertised. Unfortunately there was an unpleasant smell from the bathroom drains that took a few hours to clear and then there was a lingering odor. The kitchen amenities are as listed and there was a new clothes washer available in the room. Overall it was a clean place to lay our heads for the night.

Very lovely waterfront apartment with everything you could need. Bathroom is a little small but otherwise it’s perfect.

A perfect place to stay when visiting Kaikoura, just across the road from the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town.
Looking forward to coming back for longer next time.

If you want to be close to the beach to catch the sunrise over the South Pacific, this is the perfect spot. The apartment had every detail to make our stay easy and relaxed. The staff is lovely too!

Set in a beautiful location across from the beach, the convenience of a washing machine is super handy

Excellent accommodation

The apartment is excellent- comfortable, clean everything you need for an apartment.
Had an allocated car parking space. Close distant to town.

Nice spot. Easy to live in for our four night stay. Lovely comfortable king bed and nice large living space. Good shower too. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there and in Kaikoura again — it’s a beautiful part of NZ.

fantastic value in the area

Fantastic place to stay in the area. It was very clean, well appointed, and had very comfortable beds. I got a great night's sleep and there are a bunch of dining options within walking distance. I wish I had another night here.

Excellent stay

This was a beautiful, clean and quiet apartment to stay directly across the beach. The resturants up the street was very good and many to choose from. The parking was convenient.
