Great wee uniy, everything we needed, well considered and great waterfront location in Kaikōura near the seal colony. Owners were fab, left us to own devices only checking in to see if we needed anything/ more supplies. Dog friendly and welcoming. We'd definitely recommend and stay again on next trip to Kaikōura. Thank you!

Austin Heights is a beautiful property and Juanita is a fantastic host. Everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was just what we needed to start our day!

This was the last accommodation during our New Zealand trip and we have kept the best for last. What a beautiful chalet! The owners have clearly love and respect for their property. It is well-maintained and very clean. It offers all the comfort and luxury you need. It's beautifully styled. I love how the chalet is oriented on couples and not large families. It radiates romantic and peaceful vibes. The surroundings (mountains, fields) are amazing and the animals are soooo cute. I loved to watch the alpacas from my bed. I wish New Zealand was closer to home so I could visit again. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it so much! I highly, highly recommend staying here. And please: take care of this chalet like it is your own home.

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!

We want to emphasize the extremely fine accomodation - brandnew and very tasteful interior and furnishment. We felt very comfortable and at home in Angela’s apartment. Not to mention Angela’s hospitality and extraordinary personal service: She spontaneously offered us a lift from the busstop to the apartment and furthermore took us to the point Key viewpoint, and brought ur luggage to the bus again. Angela is just adorable and a very special person

I recently stayed here and had a fantastic experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning mountain view, especially in the mornings, we had fantastic time here. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making it easy to prepare food. The room was big and exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. I will definitely return for another visit.

Friendly cheerful staff. Easy check-in. We got a two bedroom unit upstairs. Love the room space and tvs in each room plus the lounge (however, we couldn't get the master room tv to work). Loved that it had a full kitchen. Loved the views. Loved the shower. Comfortable beds.
