Enjoyed our stay, the property was perfect for us with sufficient facilities and comfortable and with enough in the kitchen to allow us to eat in for a couple of nights. Would definitely recommend.
clean well equipped units close to the foreshore (no view from our unit) easy booking
on sit parking - spaces a bit tight
Noise of adjacent unit's toilet flushing heard through wall at night and early morning
The apartment was a highlight of our stay in Kaikoura. It had a nice big balcony overlooking the water and was easily big enough for two people. It was clean and had the right equipment for cooking and doing laundry, which was a plus. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment was comfortable and warm.
Waterfront apartments were a great location, set with views of the ocean and mountains. Facilities are clean, modern and well functioning. Parking included and easy go access. Would recommend!
We were blown away with the ocean views our “apartment” had. The apartment was spacious with two bedrooms, a great kitchen, a six-person table and cozy living room. We were given a bottle of milk when we arrived to put in our fridge for coffee, tea, hot chocolate (all in the kitchen). We opened one of the cupboards and found a washing machine - awesome! This place and staff were amazing! Highly recommend!
Great location to stay in the heart of kaikoura, right on the waterfront. Check in was easy and checked out via Dropbox. It was a quiet location, loved the easy parking out front. Beds were super comfortable, all facilities in apartment were great for a weekend away.
Great location. Perfect room on second floor with ocean views from balcony. Extra shout out to staff at reception who helped us via emails with late check in. Highly recommend!!!
