This is a great place for a short stay. As close to the sea as you can get with a balcony to enjoy afternoon views. The restaurant lived up to expectation. The crayfish was fresh and a reasonable cost. The staff were very customer focused and friendly.

Comfortable bed and room in a quirky hotel. Restaurant meal was excellent. Buffet breakfast was appreciated. Only negatives were the broken slider on the shower and the noisy refrigeration unit outside the bedroom.

New favourite place in Kaikoura

Go with an open mind and enjoy yourself at great value. I was lucky with my room choice and whilst not all rooms get the balcony I believe you can see and hear the sea from all of them. Bed was comfortable and room spacious. Shared facilities yes but the shower was amazing and everything spotless. Breakfast is self-serving from a private lounge and an unlimited stocked cereal bar, with yoghurts and toast. The restaurant is busy but it is all over and closed by 10pm so no noise at night except the sea. Exceptional value and nice staff. Because the restaurant is so busy I would suggest you reserve a spot with your hotel reservation at least for the first night (Kaikoura is struggling with eateries at the moment).

Outstanding wee pub, everything you need for a comfortable nights stay. Recommend the restaurant - amazing food but be sure to call and book a table before you stay as it is super popular.

We didn't stay in the end. The room and ensuite were very dated, no tv, uneven floor. Stairs not vacummed. Staff lovely and the meal delicious. In the breakfast room where you help yourself, they were well stocked with gf options as well.
