I can only echo the reviews of others. This place is absolutely beautiful. Our room was large and beautifully furnished, we thoroughly enjoyed our patio with a view of the ocean. Trevor and Polly were gracious hosts, gave us very good information and were delightful to visit with over a delicious breakfast. Trevor told us all about fishing for Paua,... More

We recently spent two weeks on the South Island, the Miharotia House was one of my favorite places that we stayed at. The room that we stayed in was beautiful, clean, and spacious. We had a patio with a great view of the mountains and sea. Location is great - there are nearby running trails and hiking trails, and some... More

From the moment we arrived Polly and Trevor made us feel very welcome and our room was spacious and lovely, with eveything we needed. Breakfast witnessed an in-depth talk on paua ( the amazingly blue/green shellfish that grows offshore here ) from Trevor - and a lovely meal to start the day. The Green Dolphin recommendation for dinner was a... More

A wonderful place to stay with very kind and helpful hosts More

I stayed for two nights with Polly and Trevor and could not have been made more welcome or more comfortable. The room had spectacular views over the bay which were a highlight of my trip. The four-poster bed ensured a great night's sleep and the room was comfort itself. Polly and Trevor were so helpful in advising on where to... More

Miharotia means 'to be admired' in Maouri and this is certainly true. Beautiful house in an exceptional location high on the peninsula overlooking Kaikoura. Luxurious accommodation, beautifully furnished, every little detail thought of, perfect for the traveller needing respite. Trevor and Polly are knowledgeable, kind and considerate hosts and nothing is too much trouble. A twenty minute down hill walk... More

We spent Christmas at Miharotia house, staying for three days. It was the perfect way to spend the holidays, starting with bucks fizz for breakfast from the wonderful hosts, Trevor and Polly. The accommodation is first class and very comfortable. Trevor and Polly gave us lots of advice about walks, things to see and places to eat in Kaikoura. This... More

We stayed at Miharotia House for 1 night in February 2011 on our honeymoon. Trevor and Polly made us feel extremely welcome and even gave us some chocolate and sparkly to congratulate on our wedding! The accomodation is excellent, well furnished and spotlessly clean. The views of Kaikoura bay are magnificient, we recommend using the hot tub outside to relax... More

What a stunning piece of architecture with rimu solid wood floors. The rooms are large with beautiful views. Furniture is luxurious and the bathroom only lacks a bath. Trevor and Polly are marvellous hosts keen to please and ensure you enjoy your stay in Kaikoua even if the sea prevents your dolphin or whale trips. Breakfast is a social event... More
