Hotels in Kaikoura

One staff member was great It didn't meet our expectations

Staff was very helpful and friendly

cheap rate. The room was extremely cold. the heaters were very ineffective. Washing and drying facilities were the dearest we encountered in our 4 weeks in NZ. Asked reception to book a taxi into town. The taxi was extraordinarily expensive $24 each way from memory,this was due to it being a shuttle not a taxi as such. I would have liked if this was pointed out to us when requesting the booking as it was possible to walk to town centre.

Situated on one of the outlying roads from the center of Kaikoura, the building have thick brick walls and quiet surroundings. Our bed also had an electric blanket which was pleasant. The fridge, oven and cookware made for a nice way to have a meal at the hotel. The owner was also quite nice and picked us up from the train station. The buildings are a bit dated and with no central heating, they can be quite drafty and cold. The bathroom has a slotted window which opens directly to the outside and allows for insects to come in. Because they're attracted to the light, our bathroom was quite full of bugs when we left the light on.
