Great convenient stop on our way north.
Pros:

Conveniently located on the way into Kaikoura, just off 1 highway. The accommodation was well appointed and clean. Deka was most helpful in recommending places to eat and visit during our stay.

Wunderschönes großes Apartment für einen längeren Aufenthalt geeignet.
Pros:

Das Apartment war wunderbar und geräumig! Wie ein eigenes Ferienhaus. Mit riesiger Küche, offenem Wohnraum und sogar einem Kamin. Waschmaschine und Trockner gab es auch. Der Strand ist über die Straße in 4 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ich wäre gerne länger geblieben. Die Stadt ist in 5 Minuten per Auto zu erreichen.

Cons:

Alles prima

Excellent
Pros:

We had a really lovely stay! The studio was beautiful, very well equipped, comfortable and welcoming. We also loved the little terrace outside – such a nice touch.

The location was great, and the staff were very helpful. We arrived before the 2:00 PM check-in and were able to leave our luggage at reception. When we came back later, the keys were ready and our luggage had already been placed in our room, which was such a thoughtful detail.

We only stayed one night but honestly wished we could have stayed longer. Both the accommodation and Kaikoura are stunning. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Kaikoura! 😊

Cons:

Comfortable little place in amazing location.
Pros:

Close to caves and restaurants. Clean.

Cons:

Room was very small. Of course, the weather was really bad and we were stuck in our room for a while so it seemed especially small.

Some days you get sun, some days you get rain. Great place to spend a rainy few days.
Pros:

Nice retreat. Weather wasn’t good so having upgraded to an apartment for 3 days was great.
