Kaikoura can be overlooked as a destination, but is definitely worth an overnight stay or more, great vibe with restaurants, cafes, shops and first class hotel, Lots of walks, suitable for all levels of fitness from a stroll on the beach to a hike over to South Bay and back. the seal colony, or go whale watching, or just take in the views.Guest review bykarenNew Zealand - 10.0

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.Guest review byWendyNew Zealand - 8.0
Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed!
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!Guest review byHelenAustralia - 10.0

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.Guest review byMaylanaNew Zealand - 10.0

The seal colony on the northern coast at Ohau Point was a great stop on the way to Kaikoura - we saw baby seals feeding, lots of seal frolicking in the water and on the beach. We walked to South Bay lookout and around the headland to Kaikoura beach as the coastline is spectacular. More seals and birds on this beach. Good 8km walk. Food at the hotel along the road was good and drinks on the verandah to watch the sunset was great.Guest review byJo and Gary GorsuchAustralia - 10.0
Kaikoura is a beautiful place for outdoor activities.
Kaikoura is a beautiful place for outdoor activities. Whale and dolphin watching is popular and there is a seal colony close to town. There are nice places to eat and the town is focused on tourism..Guest review bySusanNew Zealand

- From US$168.17 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 568 reviewsAcross the road from the beach so it had a sea view across the hotel carpark. Recently refurbished and the bed was supremely comfortable. Basic cooking facilities though I didn't use them. It was good to have the bathtub. Handily next door to Encounter Kaikoura, which has a fantastic cafe and gift shop. There aren't a lot of eating places in the immediate vicinity of the hotel so it was great to have such a nice cafe next door.Guest review byYukiAustralia
- From US$108.40 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,064 reviewsWe love everything about this motel. To many things to list. But, it definitely ticks the boxes of all our must haves in a motel. Sean is a perfect host. Easy self check-in which is great. Bigger screen TV then the usual motels and we stay at a lot.
