Beautiful view from panoramic window on the ocean, even from 1st floor. At night you even can hear surf noise! Room was very clean and quite spacious. 2 min by driving to colony of fur seals. Amazing place to observe sunrise!

Beautiful apartment (we had nr1) literally looking at the beach from the livingroom and kitchen area. When you cross the street you are at the beach. Wonderful view of the ocean, when you are having breakfast on the terrace or with the glass sliding doors open in the livingroom. Everything was very clean, modern and had everything you can possibly need there. it felt great to spend a couple of days around Christmas there and we felt very spoiled.

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.

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.

The owners of the hotel were so friendly and welcoming that we immediately felt at home. There are beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces at the hotel to gather with friends. Rooms are comfortable, quirky and have everything needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel’s location is fabulous, right on the beach and within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and pubs. The breakfast was wonderful. We loved our stay at Kaikōura Boutique Hotel
