Great location in Kaikoura

Great stay in a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. We saw 2 great sunrises and enjoyed 2 evenings on the balcony. The bed was comfortable and the room quite large. The bathroom was spacious, as was the shower.

A very pleasant stay, great location, very helpful staff. Got a great recommendation on where to have dinner, Donegal House. I generally don’t enjoy tourist towns but Kaikoura is an exception. When you book a room, check out its dimensions.

Quiet and peaceful location along the Kaikoura shoreline, right at the entrance to Tom's Walk. Parking is plentiful, with some dedicated parking spaces for guests off the main strip. Very beautiful inner courtyard for all of the rooms and also there is a cute bar and restaurant for guests.

Owners were wonderful. There is a bar onsite which offered nice wines and beers. Property location convenient and in a quiet area. Room and bathroom was very small - I wish I had opted for a larger one.
