Hotels near Seaward Kaikoura Range

"Super location, parking easy on property, perfect view from apartments first floor"

"We had a wonderful time! The room is spacious, and the mattress is huge and incredibly comfortable. The bathroom has a shower and a bath. The room is quiet and peaceful. Plus, there’s a nice view of the golf course. "

"Our courtyard room was perfect for our 2 night stay and the hotel is situated across the road from the beachfront. The centre of Kaikoura where the main shops and restaurants are was just a bit too far for us to walk to but not a problem as plenty of parking available. Small onsite car park but parking available in street outside hotel if full."

"From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and felt at home. We had comfortable accommodation with a wonderful view of the mountains. I would highly recommend staying here. "

"Everything was great! Comfortable bed, Spacious room, and pleasant staff! I wish that there was a decaffeinated coffee choice and an alternative for sugar (like equal, or splenda). Other than that I have no suggestions to offer!"

"New management. Extremely helpful and friendly. I did stay here in December 2025, but found it a much better experience overall this time around. Excellent location. Very good value for money. Would definitely book here again if/when visiting Kaikōura."

"Perfect location if you’re doing an early dolphin or albatross tour—literally right across the street, so you can just walk over in minutes. Super convenient and stress-free for early starts. Great choice if wildlife tours are your priority. "

"Very clean and tidy room and facilities. Comfortable bed. Good shower pressure. Allocated parking but ours was a bit tight for a larger vehicle. On a busy road but don't hear any traffic noise. Lovely outlook."
