Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this accommodation. We had the very front upstairs 2 bdrm apartment (No.22). The gentleman that served us was quite a character and just added to our overall experience he couldnt have been more helpful. It comes at a price but the apartment lacks for nothing...a different view from three separate balconies, full stylish kitchen, comfortable lounge,... More

Our apartment was on the first floor and had a good side view of the sea. It was clean ,modern and very well equipped. We had a living/dining/kitchen area and two bedrooms and shower room. We could easily walk to the village centre to the restaurants but instead used the excellent kitchen facilities and ate on our balcony enjoying the... More

We stayed for two nights in this brilliant accommodation. Very spacious with all mod cons. Graeme welcomed us in and came to our rescue with a hacksaw when we realised we had lost the key to our baggage locks. He even gave us another one to replace it. Kiwis are so friendly. Would definitely recommend it. More

Our stay at the waterfront apartments was wonderful Graeme and Mandy were the perfect hosts making sure that all our needs were met. The Apartments were clean and spacious. Dishwasher and washer and dryer are included. We had the end closest to the water and the view was spectacular. We felt so at home there and truly enjoyed our stay. More

We have just travelled throughout both islands and this was by far the best place we stayed at. Our two bedroomed apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped (including a washing machine and dishwasher). It was pretty near to the main road but it isn't busy so this wasn't a problem. The owners, Graeme and Mandy, were very helpful and... More

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...
