The undercover car park, the spacious living area, not to mention the fabulous views of the mountains and the sea. And being able to hear the waves was breath-taking. Having a washing machine and dryer. The kitchen was fully equipped. Shops and restaurants were are short walk away. There's a cafe and restaurant only two minutes walk away that cater for people with food allergies/intolerances. And seeing dolphins from our balcony with the use of the apartment telescope was just exciting.

Everything about our stay at the Hamptons was thoroughly enjoyable. The property is ideally situated on the waterfront and a short walk into town. The room was well equipped and spotlessly clean with a beautiful area to sit out the front and enjoy the views. The highlight was the fabulous breakfast and Patrick and Mary-Claire who were wonderful hosts. Highly recommend the Hamptons to anyone spending time in Kaikoura.

Amazing place to stay, loved the architecture of the house, the layout, very fresh and clean, spotless, well equipped kitchen, fun to cook in and to stay in this beautiful place, with the nice garden.

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
