Stopped off on our way up to North Island and this was the only place still open at 10pm (Kiwi's certainly close up early). The owners couldn't have been more helpful, though, trying to find somewhere we could find a meal. They also lent me their car to charge my phone! The apartment was roomy, clean and well equipped, and... More

We stayed at the Waterfront apartments on two separate visits using the wheelchair accesible rooms. The owners were friendly and helpful, the apartments had their own parking bay with room number marked, a washing machine and dishwasher were in the kitchen and the fixtures and fittings were of very good quality. Both the rooms we stayed in could have done... More

We booked the king studio room online, but when we arrived at the hotel we were told that that room had just been sold to someone else. The manager told us that it was our fault for booking on the day we were arriving. She said that there were no similar rooms available, but said we could have a one... More

the accommodation consists of two bedroom ( but they will decrease the cost if you only want one bedroom.) The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, stove etc.. The apartments are on the beach front though there is only a partial view of the sea from one's balcony unless one has the front accommodation. More

We stayed 2 nights with our 2 adult daughters and found the 2 bedroom apartment to meet all of our needs. A very warm welcome from the owners on our arrival with lots of information about Kaikoura, where to eat and places to visit etc. The apartment was very well presented with a fully equiped kitchen and magnificent views of...

We had a two bedroom 'executive' apartment here, it was comfortable and decently equipped. The views from the apartment were great with the seafront from the balcony and the snow capped mountains from the side windows. The owners were very helpful, friendly and provided great tips for places to go and eat, all of which we followed and were not... More

Great place to stay - very friendly staff and clean room, with good channel selection and loads to do. We at an off peak time had an upstairs unit which was better then over looking the car park, we also had a great view of the mountains. Will stay here again. More

We stayed for one night and it was a great spot, we would have liked to stay longer. Very smart, clean and well furnished with all the amenities that you would need. The view from the balcony is a picture postcard. Nice friendly hosts. Would stay again. More

Across the road from the beach. Cozy, kitchen, comfortable and spacious. Good location, you can walk to the downtown area for restaurants and groceries if you want. Management was very helpful. More

After a fairly long drive from Christchurch we were looking forward to putting our feet up and from the moment we were greeted by the owner, we knew we would be looked after. While only staying one night, all our expectations were met from the friendly and very helpful advice given on where to eat including details on our whale... More
