Very comfortable and well positioned.

Very welcoming and helpful staff. A fantastic position opposite the beach and easy walk to the town. Good sized bedroom, kitchen and lounge. Bathroom very small. Difficult to sit on toilet as basin too close. No shelf for wash bags. Shower floor slippery.

A perfect place to stay when visiting Kaikoura, just across the road from the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town. Looking forward to coming back for longer next time.

Nice spot. Easy to live in for our four night stay. Lovely comfortable king bed and nice large living space. Good shower too. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there and in Kaikoura again — it’s a beautiful part of NZ.

Fantastic place to stay in the area. It was very clean, well appointed, and had very comfortable beds. I got a great night's sleep and there are a bunch of dining options within walking distance. I wish I had another night here.

This was a beautiful, clean and quiet apartment to stay directly across the beach. The resturants up the street was very good and many to choose from. The parking was convenient.
