A delightful hotel right near the water in Kaikoura. Waking up to the sunrise and hearing the waves crashing outside was a real highlight. Everything was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Bed was excellent, bathroom had everything you could possibly need, and every detail was considered. As a bonus, it has both a split AC for winter (and summer) and a separate wall and bathroom heater. A small kitchenette had everything needed for cooking. No notes!

We were welcomed & shown through our lovely warm room as soon as we arrived.
The view from our spacious room was nothing short of spectacular!
