It was just perfect. Amazing owner. Super friendly and quick TAT. Amazing decor. Awesome amenities - fully equipped kitchen, games, heater, bathtub, binoculars to watch dolphins directly from the cabins - we saw multiple dolphins, a kayak, a boat from the cabin given its great location. We could see milky way one out of two nights that we spent at the cabin. Super clean with premium amenities. MUST MUST MUST STAY in KAIKOURA.

Fantastic view of the mountains from our room. Perfect location. You can tell the owners/managers take pride in their property by all the little things they got right. There's a long patio, a good bathroom with sufficient space for storage and plenty of hot water. Beds were very comfortable and had two spacious end tables with 4 plugs by each table. Most motels have tiny trash cans that need to be emptied daily or more often, but here they had a big one, as all should. Friendly, helpful staff.

Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.

View was great, however as we were one of the apartments at the back (apartment 11) the view was a bit obscured. Had everything we needed, big kitchen, balcony was a plus even though we couldn't enjoy it due to rain. Very happy to be able to get into our room as soon as we arrived without having to check in at reception.

We enjoyed our stay here and will come back. The hotel was charming and the staff friendly and genuine. We stayed in a Junior Suite and the room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony looking out to the mountains and sea. We also had a treatment at the day spa and Elaine was wonderful. Would highly recommend getting the massage. The Champagne/Martini bar was lovely & relaxing. There wasn't a lot of options for someone with food allergies but the one option was tasty.
