Arrived late afternoon..straight into the apartment
Was lovely and clean and great facilties.
Although we had an accessible room , shower was good.
Free laundry facilties a bonus.
Location very good. Encounter coffee was just a short walk away and the ocean was in eyesight.
Loved Kaikoura even though was just a short stop en route to Nelson.
Scenery amazing and Pier restaurant had great seafood.
Very calm and serene atmosphere. Mountains in the distance and visiting the seals was lovely.

This hotel stay was an absolute delight, offering the perfect blend of convenience, stunning views, and high-quality amenities. The location right by the waterfront was simply breathtaking, and the proximity to the whale watching center was an added bonus.
While the unit was on the second floor, which required carrying our luggage upstairs, the view from the elevated position was well worth it. There was also the option of requesting a ground floor unit if stairs are a concern.
The check-in and check-out process was a breeze, with clear instructions provided and a designated key return box for added convenience. Having an assigned parking space just outside the unit was also a thoughtful touch.
But the true highlight of this hotel stay was the shower. The water pressure and temperature control were absolutely perfect, making for a luxurious and refreshing experience. And being able to watch the sunrise from the unit was the icing on the cake.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil, waterfront retreat with top-notch amenities and stunning views. The combination of the convenient location, well-appointed unit, and exceptional shower made this an unforgettable stay.

This location is amazing; just step outside, and you’re at the beach. We stayed in a sea-view room on the second floor, and it was perfect—spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bedding was super fresh and tidy. I feel like this stay was flawless. One night was too short; we’ll definitely come back here again next time, and we’ll stay for four nights!

This was our first stop on a road trip and chose the apartment as looked to be central and gave a 2 bedroom option so our daughter could have her own room.
Was a fantastic stay and we loved that we could go buy lots of fresh produce nearby and chill in the evening with the sound of waves on the shore.
Loved our stay here and lots of amazing memories.
