Shearwater Apartments

Everything you need in a great location

The high end apartment was spotlessly clean. It is in a great location and the views are incredible. The cheese, crackers and wine were a thoughtful addition. Jane was so helpful with recommendations of a great walk and booked a great restaurant for us. A great find.

Everything was great! From the moment we arrived with welcome cheese and wine to a great breakfast spread each day. Jane and Russell were fantastics hosts and we would highly recommend a stay here while in Kaikoura, New Zealand.

Sehr schöne Wohnung, toller Blick aufs Meer, gutes Frühstück und nette, hilfsbereite Vermieter

Le logement est très bien équipé et parfaitement situé face à la baie. Nous avons été accompagné Jane qui a eu la gentillesse de nous réserver une place dans l’un des meilleurs restaurants de Kaikoura.

Fint, fräscht och välstädat. Jane är en mkt trevlig och hjälpsam värd. Fantastisk utsikt.

Beautiful view, convenient location, nice and bright.

Everything, the amazing view, the amazing host Russell, the welcome treats, the amazing daily breakfast basket. The apartment was spotless and so comfortable. Russell showed us around and went through everything thoroughly with us. He was so kind and lovely, I’m so glad we stayed here and will be back for sure.

Perfect in every respect

Sehr schön gelegen, modern und komfortabel

Es war ein Vergnügen hier zu übernachten. Ein unglaublich herzlicher Empfang, eine überaus saubere und bequeme Unterkunft, einfach nur perfekt.

The apartment was very warm, modern and exceptionally clean, Jane was a fantastic host and gave us some great options for dining and exploring Kaikoura. :)

The property was immaculately presented with high quality furnishings and thoughtful inclusions. Jane was very warm and welcoming. The views were spectacular and the location was handy to everything we needed.

Apartment opened onto a little garden/patio and you could walk out, cross the road and straight onto the beach. Clearly the property had been newly renovated as everything was or seemed brand new with not the smallest of marks on anything.
Breakfast was placed outside our door on a tray each morning and consisted of a great selection of muesli, yoghurt, fruit, pastries croissants and jam, all beautifully parcelled in cellophane for freshness. Tea and coffee facilities in the room and we were greeted with quality wine, cheese and crackers on arrival. Excellent WiFi and powerful hot shower.
Jane recommended and kindly made reservations for us at local restaurants both evenings, as well as advising us of a beautiful walk around the headland where we saw fur seals, pups and a variety of natural environments which we really enjoyed. Lovely and quiet at the end of the town (not sure how much parking happens opposite on busy days in season?).

Quality inclusion in this little apartment. The apartment was very comfortable. Best pillows I've used during our trip. Easy walk into town to shops and restaurants. Jane and Russell were very hospitable hosts. The wine cheese & crackers upon arrival was a lovely touch.

Modern & spacious. Great breakfast & wine, cheese & biscuits on arrival.
Very helpful host

Great location, modern, clean and the Continental Breakfast was perfect. Jane the host was also very helpful and informative.

Wonderful accomodation. Beautifully, and thoughtfully furnished, and incredibly immaculate. So many extra touches that were really appreciated. Would definitely stay again!
Thanks so much!
