The location is good with good water view. But the toilets n showers are a bit limited for the no of guests on each floor. The kitchen is sufficient but the stove is a bit old.

We stayed two nights. The room, kitchen and bathroom were very clean. The staff was super helpful, when we asked if they found a lost powerbank a few days later. Only negative thing was a weird smell - we don't really know what it was.

This is a really lovely place to stay, I'd highly recommend it! The french girl & Italian boy who I booked with are both really nice & very helpful & all of the staff are helpful & nice. The owners were lovely too & their little boy was very sweet. The location is good & it has a great view of the sea. The rooms & kitchen & whole place are really clean & the whole place has a lovely, welcoming vibe.

I spent a few nights here and needed some space so I booked the spacious (family) room (with sea view) which had enough space to put my yoga mat down, it has a super comfy queen bed, was nice, clean, warm & had stunning views from the bed. People were friendly and the kitchen set up is great too.

Really clean facilities, good hot water, owners were helpful when we did see them, maybe we interrupted something when we arrived but didn't get a friendly welcome, didn't get the check in info email until after our chosen check in time (not 5am as stated we would). Overall would stay again. Would be a decent walk into town without a car but doable.

This is my favourite place to stay in Kaikōura and brings back many happy memories when I was a young backpacker staying at this beautiful hostel when it was a YHA many years ago! Such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere, clean, tastefully decorated with a well-equipped kitchen. I love it here and would recommend this affordable accommodation to all. Many thanks to the new owners for keeping the place going!
