Staff is really nice, thanks to Kate and James who took care of us! We were late than communicated hours because of driving on the left side for the first time of our life, with a tired brain which can hardly speak English at arrival. Kate recognized us and took care for check-in. James called us during our journey but unfortunately with poor signal we did not get it. The atmosphere in the restaurant is awesome! Even late hours they could get us some snacks like chips and nuggets, nuggets were tasty. Just few minutes drive to whale watching station, able to catch up the earliest boat.

I loved everything about this place, but especially the people! The manager (or owner) helped me out one day (I am still so thankful for that!) and the staff really went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I will definitely remember the lovely chat I had with the girl by checkout. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant in Kaikoura! (About the room: big, super clean, nice view from the balcony, feels homey.)

We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

    A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

    Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

    Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.

    Water Pressure in the shower was divine! Pub attached to the hotel was very convenient and the food was delicious! 11/10 recommend the sticky date pudding! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The grounds are gorgeous and being situated a little out of Kaikoura makes it feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with the added bonus of being a 5 minute drive from the supermarket, beach and township.

    Beautiful room with a stunning ocean view. The hotel staff were very accommodating as it was a 30th birthday weekend away, we arrived to a chocolate platter in the room with a welcoming hand writ note, the hotel offered to arrange a cake for our stay, which I declined but was very pleased with the level of customer service. The room was large, tidy and appeared very clean. Overall really pleased we picked the Sudima Kaikōura
