Kaikoura is so beautiful and the best place in NZ to see Whales. We took a Whale Watch Kaikoura boat trip and it was awesome. It was our second time taking this trip. The first time 4 years ago in April we saw a Sperm whale and a huge pod of dolphins. This time we saw 3 humpback whales and pods of dolphins with their babies. We've done the Kayaking trip as well and it was great. There is surfing and good hikes too. We also did miniput and the escape from at the Emporium.

The visit to Kaiikoura for a couple of days was lovely for relaxation. Worthwhile just to experiece the seafood and in particular the Paua sandwiches. The Crayfish were too highly priced. Scenery is beautiful. We had hopes to eat in Kaikora's best recommended restaurant. But found when turning up there the doors were shut. So we ended up at the local pub Whalers. They recommended us to try their Board special Porterhouse Steak. Compliments to the chef. The chef knows how to cook steak. (and we are foodies). Walking around Kaikoura is the best way appreciate this beautiful place.

A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

We went on the whale watch and the tour was very informative and saw lots of wild life, whales, seals, birds including an albatross and 2 different species of dolphins. I will always have this as a beautiful memory on our trip to New Zealand ❤️

Kaikoura can be overlooked as a destination, but is definitely worth an overnight stay or more, great vibe with restaurants, cafes, shops and first class hotel, Lots of walks, suitable for all levels of fitness from a stroll on the beach to a hike over to South Bay and back. the seal colony, or go whale watching, or just take in the views.

This is a luxury apartment. Lovely to have a coffee machine and percolator. Very well equipped, although, aside from breakfast, we ate out. Comfortable king bed and two very spacious bathrooms. Enjoyed reading on the balcony. Walked into centre of town and also in other direction to the Pier Hotel so well-centred.

The Sudima in Kaikoura is located a little bit outside of the town centre right next to the beach. There is a nice restaurant and bar in the hotel. The rooms are modernly furnished with a very good ac/heater.
