I arrived about 8:30pm and a very nice woman greeted me and spent time sharing knowledge of the area. She was most helpful all around, I greatly appreciated it as a long day of driving and hiking!

Really nice experience. Room had everything well thought out as to what a traveller might need. Comfortable bed and beautifully clean throughout. Units were arranged around a kind of central area and had a laundry with both washer and dryer available. Close to the rest of Kaikoura which is a lovely place to stop with many shops close to the hotel. Highly recommend
