Not an actual hotel. It is a motel. They have breakfast included. Keep shades down to keep rooms cool. 2 minute drive from seals and close to the dolphin encounter. Staff was friendly as all staff seem to be in New Zealand.
Such a cute and cozy place! The service is probably the best I’ve ever had at any lodging I have ever stayed at. The breakfast is great, coffee=amazing and the staff has the best recommendations for what to do in town (we had the best time swimming with dolphins)! I would say the only downside is the bathrooms are super tiny but the service alone more than makes up for that. I loved my stay in this town and would definitely want to come back here. Thank you guys for an awesome Kiwi experience !!!!! Definitely recommend!!! And it is RIGHT on the beach with a small town feel so we enjoyed some glasss of wine on the beach and had the whole beach to ourselves! It was amazing!
Very up to date, recently refurbished hotel. Very friendly staff. Loved it.
Jen Barnes (hotel owner is a lovely lady) she and her staff couldn't do enough to make our state pleasant and memorable; this is a lovely establishment close to all conveniences and I would gladly recommend anyone staying at Kaikoura Boutique Hotel.
We had a lovely stay here. Jen, Warren & Nikki, thanks for making us so welcome! It was certainly a memorable stay!
Absolutely fantastic. Clean, near everything. The owner gladly ferried us to from the whale watching dock, downtown, and the train station. Wow, fantastic people. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel.
Very friendly and talkative owner. Lovely environment.
Sea is right infront of the hotel. Enjoy sunrise in the morning. And have a good walk along the seaside.
Excellent service at the restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The crayfish was cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.
