This is a nice hotel but not 5 stars. We only stayed a night. Staff were very friendly and location good but I don’t think worth the money

This was a beautiful, well appointed house which made our stay in Kaikoura outstanding. The house was very clean, and a full suite of kitchen utensils and crockery was provided Views were fantastic, and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a luxury for our family of four.

A beautiful restoration of the building with top quality decor and amazing art. The breakfast was excellent for a light meal, and having the terrace to sit at was lovely. The staff were outstanding!

This was a great place to stay. We were met on arrival by the very friendly host and shown the suite. Exceptionally comfortable and luxurious. Everything you could hope for was here (including a luxury bath tub!). The washer and drier for laundry was a great bonus and again worked well. The sofa was comfortable. The bed also very comfortable with the bedding also feeling very luxurious. Finally, the view! We sat outside on the terrace, looking at a beautiful garden with a fantastic view of Lake Tekapo beyond it. Amazing.
