Fairways is a modern apartment complex adjacent to a golf course a few miles out of Kaikoura. I'm not quite sure how it is owned and managed - I may be wrong but it seems to be like a kind of timeshare where the individual apartments are let out when not wanted by their owners. Anyway, we had been allocated... More

The Fairways turned out to be very comfortable, away from town, with a charming host, to boot. We stayed only one night, having come to Kaikoura to see the town where a granddaughter spent a college term, and feel fortunate to have found such a nice accommodation. We needed only a small place for one night, but the unit was... More

We stayed two nights in this self contained 1 bedroom apartment with fully equipped kitchen. 5mins drive to the town center, restaurants, supermarket and excursion centers. Very comfortable and modern furnished. Would love to stay longer there!!!

Fresh, clean and comfortable establishment immediately south of town in a new residential development. You won't be walking into town from here, unless it's a good walk you're after, but it's just a 2-3min drive, and if you want a quiet and comfortable place to stay, this fits the bill nicely. The studio rooms are compact, but have everything you... More

We stayed here in order to take advantage of the whale watching tour in Kaikoura. The location is OK (south of Kaikoura by a few Kms). The room we had was a bit small. Breakfast was delivered to the room - but the room had no real dining facility: we had to squeeze up to the writing desk. The staff... More

The 2-bedroom unit which we stayed in for 2 nights was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The managers were extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside is the distance from Kaikoura itself. We found it to be very quiet at night and I particularly enjoyed the night sky- when the street lights were turned off (not sure why this occurred though),... More

It was our 3rd time at The Fairways –as before a great, modern 1-bedroom apartment. The apartment and everything was very clean within our 2 nights stay. Upon arrival, we were put into a 1-bedroom apartment with very noisy neighbors with children and adults running and screaming through the adjacent apartment. We immediately asked for a change, no problem, but... More

Very modern new complex a short drive from kaikoura. We liked that we were slightly out of town as very quiet. Room clean, good service and free wifi. The downside to us was the design of the studios. These are actually the 2nd bedroom of the bigger apartments but meant we felt like an after thought as It was dark... More

The only downside here is that it is out of town. That said we were warmly welcomed, given complimentary wifi and shown how everything worked. Washing machine and tumble drier facilities and a well equipped kitchen. Nice gas fire which we did actually use as it was a bit chilly. Cant fault it.
