We loved it here! Just outside the center of Kaikoura, only 5 minutes from the whale watch. A beautiful garden and a perfect place to relax. There’s even a guest herb garden that we made use of. Jen, thank you for everything, including your great tips for the drive from Kaikoura to Richmond!

Mondello Kaikoura was very conveniently located, less than 2 mins drive to the main street dotted with shops and restaurants, and less than 2 mins (in the opposite direction) to the supermarket, convenience stores and other restaurants. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment - which was clean and even had a balcony with mountainside view. There is a guest laundry (coin operated) that was easy to use and convenient.

Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
