"We had great stay here, a wonderful welcome from Matt and helpful local advice. The room was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen and dining room have the most amazing view over the bay and across to the mountains. Township and peninsula tracks within a very short drive or easy walk / bike ride - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for everything !"

"I recently stayed at Kaikōura Seaside Lodge and had a lovely experience. The location is perfect, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making for a very pleasant stay. There is also a cozy living room area and quite a large Kitchen.
What truly stood out during my stay was the hospitality of the staff, particularly Isabel. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and provided fantastic service."

"We arrived very late after a long drive and Ginnaya was super helpful and attentive. It was so lovely to arrive to a comfortable and fresh, clean room and then in the morning when we woke up and walked into the breakfast area that view blew my mind. Ginnaya was super easy to chat too, so accommodating and to be honest I can't wait to come back and use their place as a base for some awesome adventures. thank you so much for everything"
