The Kaikoura Boutique Hotel is located in an enviable position right on the beachfront in Kaikoura close to the town and all its amenities and attractions. The property itself is charming and well presented, offering lodgings but also open as a champagne/cocktail bar to the general public. We were only in Kaikoura for 2 nights for a pre booked whale watching tour and picked this place due to its close proximity. Our room in the main house was large, well equipped and immaculate with exquisite views from our own private terrace. By this point we’d been travelling a solid 13 days so were bored of constantly eating out for breakfast lunch and dinner. Instead we opted to buy a few beers and picky bits and have dinner on our terrace enjoying the amazing mountain and sea views. The owner was extremely lovely and welcoming and gave us lots of tips and suggestions on how to spend a very rainy day in the town. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a stay in Kaikoura.

I struggled selecting a hotel for our anniversary celebration in Kaikoura, but am so pleased that I booked the Kaikoura Boutique Hotel. We had a beautiful room and balcony overlooking the ocean. The service was great and the continental breakfast was perfect.

A wonderful place to stay on the waterfront Hospitality by the owner and
staff is first class The cheeseboard ( with the Martini if you wish ) is to die for . Overall the trip up from Christchurch for a meeting was capped off with the night in the Hotel
