This place was amazing, we loved it! Lake View, just up the road from everything we need, nice hosts, clean, smelt nice, facilities we could use if we wanted or needed...it was such a little gem I'd go back 100%. The area is also amazing and maybe one of the nest places we have stayed since travelling new zealand.

This chalet was the absolute highlight of our holiday in New Zealand so far. It is a well equipped, modern, luxurious, super clean and spacious chalet type accommodation. It has absolutely everything you can think of - and the absolute highlight are of course the animals! What a joy to have then right next to you and being able to feed them by yourself! Also super lovely to have complimentary drinks and breakfast ready in the fridge. The hosts are very kind. If we ever come back to NZ then we would definitely come back here! Top recommendation!

During our 2 week trip to NZ, Glenburg was the standout stay for us. Just incredible. The lodge provides a view from the bedroom on the ocean and from the spacious living room (with fire place!) u get a fantastic view of Manakau mountains. Our reason to travel to Kaikoura was obviously whale watching, so if you are interested in doing that but also want to experience comfort, piece and quiet then Glenburn Coastal Retreat will deliver. Amazing.

    I recently stayed here and had a fantastic experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning mountain view, especially in the mornings, we had fantastic time here. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making it easy to prepare food. The room was big and exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. I will definitely return for another visit.

    Friendly cheerful staff. Easy check-in. We got a two bedroom unit upstairs. Love the room space and tvs in each room plus the lounge (however, we couldn't get the master room tv to work). Loved that it had a full kitchen. Loved the views. Loved the shower. Comfortable beds.
