Five-Star Hotels in Kaikoura

The cleanliness and surroundings

the room was a reasonable size and had all we needed. a good sea view.

We arrived to Cubby House Stay after 2 weeks at a family wedding in NZ. Visitors from the UK we felt emotional having just said goodbye to family to travel back down to Christchurch airport. We stayed at Cubby House stay for 2 nights to break up our journey and wow what a hidden gem. We booked 2 nights because other reviews had said it is a must to stay more than 1 night. We second that. We would even suggest staying 3 nights + if you can. It is a tranquil retreat. A home from home. We instantly felt comforted and at home. Leanne & Richard are the nicest people you could meet, nothing was too much trouble or too much to ask. We didn’t want for anything. The cubby house was supplied with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. Food supplies so much so we didn’t have to go to a shop whilst there. Fresh hen eggs from the chickens. Toys galore for our 10 month old to keep her entertained, high chair, safety gate, every thing you’d need at home for a baby. For us the comfiest bed that was sprayed with lavender pillow spray to help us relax & unwind. We had the best nights sleep we’d had for nearly 3 weeks! It didn’t feel like being in a hotel bed with hotel pillows, it felt like sleeping at home. The biggest comfiest sofa you sink into to watch a movie. We had breakfast al fresco. The views were breath taking, we could see the whole coast line, at night the stars lit up the night sky, we’d wake to bird song, & Brian the peacock perched on the balcony to wish us good morning & the goats and freckle the pig would race down the side of his fence to greet us excitedly, Shelly and Mabel the ducks too. As we’d drive in and out the turkeys hoppy and Trevor would greet us on the driveway. Leanne & Richard kindly took us on a full tour of the place and introduced us to all the animals which our daughter absolutely loved! It was great fun & I’ve never seen a cow so big as Jesus the giant 6ft + cow. You honestly couldn’t beat this place.

Location like no other!! The most comfy bed ever! A must do!

Amazing stay, remote and tranquil. The bed is so soft that you just sink in. The view is gorgeous!!

Very nice place with nice host. Old factory facility but with super modern decoration. Enjoy the stay very much !

property was great in all small details, very well equipped

Sitting directly across from a stunning mountain range is the delightful, well-managed Fyffe Country Lodge. Hosts Chris & Colin are the friendliest people we’ve met on our travels around New Zealand. It felt as though we’ve known each other for many years. The grounds are lovingly maintained. Our room, was perfect with its elegant decor and cleanliness beyond expectations. Meals were delicious and well-presented.

The accommodation is well-kept and the interior is well-thought of. Such a lovely location, had an awesome view of the ocean. Definitely great value for money.

Good location with lovely views
