Staff were excellent, great service. Stone throw away from the supermarket and eatery. Short drive to the viewing point which is a must go.
Very happy with my stay, would definitely come back if I'm here again.
The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Keep it up guys.

Location was perfect for walking to the Seal Colony along the path and the beach . The front Desk hours were very limited and the breakfast left a bit to be desired . But the location and the quaint courtyard make up for its downfalls.

Enjoyed the whale watching tour - the day was reasonably calm so no one was seasick thank goodness. Staff were informatiive and shared the story of the whales and dolphins. The map showing us the travel route was very helpful to understand the trnech and which direction and area we were headed to.

Kaikoura is a 2 hr drive from our home, so we regularly visit for long weekends. It's a special part of NZ where people and nature can interact. There's something special about how the mountains meet the sea. And of course the fresh seafood is spectacular

WhaleWatch trip was very good.
WhaleWatch trip was very good. Great cafes: Flo and Co has excellent coffee. Sime's Kitchen had great breakfast and lunch - vegan choices were delicious. Tipsy Foodies also recommended. Southern Paua shop and factory highly recommended - amazing range of jewellery, carvings and gifts. Some exquisite pounamu too. Best place to buy gifts in Kaikoura!!
Novel Findings is a great bookshop and homewares shop - don't miss it!
Loved the Ngāi Tahu artworks beside the highway, murals on the railway bridge and buildings. It's really worth checking the "Neat Places Kaikoura" website - lots of great suggestions for cool places and things to do in Kaikoura.

The wild life was definitely the highlight of the trip for me. I went swimming with dolphins and saw load of seals with their pups.
Also the people in the town are super friendly and helpful.
Of course the scenery is also breathtaking.
Loads of nice eating places that serve great seafood.

Very easy to find way to attractions,town lovely and clean.Plenty of eating places,ones we used were all excellent and value for money.Only thing we regretted was we missed the Whale Watch tour as it was blowing hard both full days we were there and there were no sailings.Will have to go back again.
Communication from our host was excellent from the clear and concise directions to pick the keys up, to the welcomed text following up with us during our stay. The Host was excellent.
The cottage has brilliant access to the beach, which allowed nice walks. Such a wonderful location we enjoyed the picturesque scenery each night.
Accommodation was as described, and we all enjoyed a comfortable night's sleep.
We would recommend anyone considering this place as your Kaikoura getaway to take the opportunity.
It's our first trip to Kaikoura and we found everything's perfect here - clear instructions from Richard and Moira, finest equipment (basically everything we need from a house is available), superb sceneries (we got both open sea and mountain!), and quiet neighbourhood. Love our getaway weekend here and wish we could have stayed longer! It's cozy like a house but with a quality of 5*.
Look forward to coming back again on our next trip to Kaikoura.
I would go back to Pier Hotel anytime it's a very old but well loved pub/ restaurant/ hotel, obviously well patronized by locals. If you don't mind its age and budget old school decor in the accomadation section it is a very authentic place in Kaikoura
Awesome location and incredible views. Sit on the upstairs wrap around verandah in the sun with amazing mountain and sea views
Great food in restaurant,
Great value for money
Very comfortable and thoughtful considerations that many other hotels in NZ we have stayed at didn’t have such as large bath sheets instead of tiny towels, a shelf near the sink to put your toiletry bag, etc. Wifi was excellent as well. Assigned parking spaces made it easy to come and go without having to worry about having a space when you returned.
Very well equipped motor lodge in an exceptional location - right across from the beautiful turquoise waters of Kaikoura. The bedrooms were really lovely and the beds very comfy. Lots of storage. Dining area was also high quality, with a great large table and very beautiful dining chairs. Very nice staff.
This was a beautiful, well appointed house which made our stay in Kaikoura outstanding. The house was very clean, and a full suite of kitchen utensils and crockery was provided Views were fantastic, and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a luxury for our family of four.
Stayed in the yurt with my teenage kids. Loads of space, comfortable beds, hot shower. Makes a lovely change from the usual dull motels or holiday parks. Even the teenagers enjoyed helping with feeding the farm animals. Fab place. Would recommend.
Everything!!! Our cabin, shared bathroom, kitchen, lounge, laundry very very clean. The bbq area, pool and 2x hot tubs, sadly, didn't get to use these due to wet weather, but will definately stay there when I am next in kaikoura!
Absolutely Loved our stay, the hotel was overlooking the beautiful Kaikoura sea, close to the main center. The room was quiet and very comfortable. The facilities were fantastic; room service was awesome.
Good location right by the beach and next to a supermarket, with everything else in Kaikoura within 10 minutes drive. Clean, comfortable and tidy room. Staff were friendly and helpful.
great value for money - cheapest option on booking.com, help yourself breakfast included, very clean, all you needed and balcony to eat breakfast on with 180 sea views
will be back
Excellent location just off Route 1, and close to the supermarket and other shops, but very quiet. Unit was more spacious than we've experienced in other motels of this price.
