The studio was really spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen and a nice shower room. Everything was perfectly clean. The owner was particularly friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay! The place is well located in the south bay, only minutes from the town centre, in a quiet area. Moreover it's good value for money. Superb ! More

We stayed in the cottages for 8 days. The cottages were clean, very comfortable and fully equipped with everything you would need. Free wifi on the verandah. Situated on a beautiful beach (quiet, quiet!) at the other end of the coastal walk so being on the outskirts of town we had everything (views, sunsets, beaches) except the noise of town.... More

Graham and his wife were the friendliest of hosts and the setting was ideal for the Kaikoura experience being directly opposite the shoreline of black pebble sand and clear aqua blue ocean overlooking the mountainous regions. Literally minutes from the town center but hidden away on the other side of the peninsula in South Bay, made a quiet, relaxing and... More

Location close to South Bay - handy for the bay but bit of a walk (or $20 taxi) into town. A basic no frills place (we stayed in one of the 2 motel rooms rather than the cottages) but room was large, comfortable, modern and clean with a very comfortable bed. Great value. More

Bay Cottages is certainly one of the best accommodation that we stayed in during our 12 nights in NZ. Graeme was there to welcome us when we arrived, and was patient to share with us about his recommendations and tips, etc. Overall, the self-contained room is clean and included a kitchen that we could use. Personally, we thought the bed... More

Originally planned to stay just one night but accomodation so good we stayed another, 16th and 17th November. Kaikoura is an amazing place and Bay Cottages were superb. Definetly the place I will stay again if I am fortunate enough to return to NZ. More

We stayed two nights at Bay Cottages and wished we could stay longer. The rooms were lovely, the linen was top quality, and the mattresses were just so comfortable (I jokingly complained to Graeme that they were so comfortable we didnt want to get up and go sight seeing! He said they are high density foam mattresses and I am... More

These self-contained units have everything you could need. The beds are the most comfortable in NZ. The kitchen is completely equipped. The location is on the opposite side of the peninsula from most of the attractions, but it is a nice walk through a park to the other side. The owner is super helpful and nice. More
