We did whale watching which was interesting - kids loved it. We went to the Pier for dinner - fab food and atmosphere. Was just a 1 night stay this time, we come to Kaikōura a bit as live 2 hours away. Great seafood, seal watching.

Kaikoura is so beautiful and the best place in NZ to see Whales. We took a Whale Watch Kaikoura boat trip and it was awesome. It was our second time taking this trip. The first time 4 years ago in April we saw a Sperm whale and a huge pod of dolphins. This time we saw 3 humpback whales and pods of dolphins with their babies. We've done the Kayaking trip as well and it was great. There is surfing and good hikes too. We also did miniput and the escape from at the Emporium.

The visit to Kaiikoura for a couple of days was lovely for relaxation. Worthwhile just to experiece the seafood and in particular the Paua sandwiches. The Crayfish were too highly priced. Scenery is beautiful. We had hopes to eat in Kaikora's best recommended restaurant. But found when turning up there the doors were shut. So we ended up at the local pub Whalers. They recommended us to try their Board special Porterhouse Steak. Compliments to the chef. The chef knows how to cook steak. (and we are foodies). Walking around Kaikoura is the best way appreciate this beautiful place.

A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

This is a home for the elderly or disabled. The lady running it didn’t seem to understand what to do. No WiFi and despite me asking again the lady running the place had no clue how to resolve the problem. In the end we didn’t stay, we moved to another hotel, that is how poor it was. It states that the hotel is in Kaikoura, it is NOT, it is several kilometers away n the middle of a residential area. We were VERY dissatisfied.

Nice modern hotel in a great location. Can't fault the cleanliness, big comfy bed. Big rooms, ours had a balcony and a sea view which was well worth the extra cost. Fairly nice hotel restaurant downstairs. Kaikōura is beautiful and this was a gorgeous time of year to visit as there are some sunny days but we got some snow on the mountains.
