“A special place”

Reviewed 11 March 2012

Love it here, from the moment we were met from our coach we were made to feel special. We arrived early on the bus and we dumped our stuff before going whale watching. We were even dropped down to the office by Tony who helped rearrange our whale watching time,. The B&B is lovely and had great character. We loved... More

“A delight”

Reviewed 27 February 2012

We generally do not stay at B&Bs, but any misgivings we might have had were immediately dispelled when we arrived at the Admiral Creighton. Yvonne and Tony could not have been more wonderful and the accomodation was first class. We have no reservation in recommending the Admiral Creighton - you'll love it. More

“Good surprise”

Reviewed 26 February 2012

It all started on a misunderstanding due to an old Lonely Planet guide. We were supposed to stay at a Convent, but it was transformed as a University 4 years ago. Actually, the same phone number is now the one of this cute B&B owned by a very friendly couple. At the first look, you think it is a little... More

We visited in New Zealand during November 2011. One of the highlights of our stay was the brief stopover at The Admiral Creighton.

A wonderful stay and a... More

“Nice stay in Kaikoura”

Reviewed 22 December 2011

We stayed 2 nights in the Admiral Creighton B&B during our roundtrip. The B&B is in een good location, just a short drive to the most restaurants. We had a nice stay, friendly hosts, nice dog and parrot and a good night sleep. The only thing is that the B&B could use a little modernisation. But maybe that`s the charm... More

“Old world country charm - Lovely!”

Stayed here on our first day of a tour and was very impressed. Tucked away out of the bustle of the lively little town of Kaikoura the Admiral Creighton B&B is a gem! With the Kaikoura mountains in the backyard and the stunning Pacific on the other side the setting couldn't be better. The décor of the B&B is 'old... More
