The Fairways Luxury Accommodation Kaikoura

We recently did a three week road trip of the South Island, our first since we retired. We ended up staying at The Fairways twice, once at the beginning of our holiday and once for the last couple of days. Stay # 1: We stayed in Kaikoura for three nights. We’d booked a studio unit at The Fairways, after doing some research online. Booking online was very easy and quick. When we checked in on arrival, our host Deka suggested we may like a one bedroom apartment, to give us more room for the three nights. She showed us the two styles, and told us the price for the upgrade. It was a bit more money but we decided to go with it. We are very glad that we did. The apartment (number 8) was so roomy, and beautifully appointed. A large dining table, a lovely lounge area, a fully functioning kitchen with a large island, a large bedroom with a VERY comfortable king sized bed, and a lovely big bathroom. The kitchen had a full size fridge/freezer, and a gas hob and oven. There is also a washing machine and a dryer in an alcove in the kitchen, which we used both visits – very handy. A sachet of laundry detergent is provided too. Wifi was good. There were lots of trees around the apartment, which meant lots of birdlife. There was a bbq and a large outside table/chairs by the entranceway. All in all a very very nice place to stay. It feels like you are in the middle of a forest, the way the apartments have been designed. Parking was three steps (maybe four or five, but very close) away from the door in the parking area in the courtyard. The parks are all numbered which is great as there’s no doubt as to who is to park where. Stay #2 We slowly worked our way up the east coast of the South Island for the last five days of our holiday. We loved the Fairways so much that we stayed another two nights on our way to Picton. Deka gave us a very friendly welcome back, and we stayed in the one bedroom apartment again, number 8 again. It felt like we were coming home! We would most definitely stay here again if we’re in Kaikoura, and highly recommend the accommodation. It is very quiet, we didn’t hear others at the complex at all. Thank you very much Deka and Fairways for two wonderful stays.

The hotel owners were accommodating to our late arrival. The property was in a beautiful location and rooms were comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our stay!

Outstanding property in a fabulous setting. A fabulous backdrop.of mountains. The scenery is quite something else! Immaculate condition. There was no air conditioning in the bedroom apart from a fan but overall this didnt impact our stay and would definitely recommend.
