    Wonderful location and great property. The room was spacious and clean. I didn’t use the hot tub/pool or the kitchen so I can’t comment on those areas. I only stayed for a night but definitely would stay for longer!

    Pleasant stay for one night in Kaikōura. Rooms were big with plenty of space for belongings. There’s a terrace with a pretty view.

    The facilities were great. The property was clean. It was nice having the pool. Seemed like our family room was in a separate location from the dorm rooms which was nice.

    It was comfortable and quiet for the most part and the dorm rooms were quite large, so plenty of room.
