It's just a stone's throw away from the seaside. You can admire the snow-capped mountains and the sea from the balcony. It's located next to the only main road in the town. It's not far from the park and supermarket. The environment is very comfortable. The room is clean and tidy. You need to go to the reception desk of the hotel next door. After taking the key, the car was parked in the corresponding parking space downstairs, but cooking seafood was not allowed in the room for fear of too much smell!
We stayed here for 3 nights - arriving via coach from Picton. It was a 10 minute walk to the villa's- which we just about managed with our suitcases - but some may wish to pre-book a taxi or shuttle. The villa is stunning: beautifully furnished - with absolutely everything you could need during your stay. The balcony - with views of the sea & mountains - was perfect for both meals & drinks. 3 days was way too short a stay! We didn't have a car/transport - and discovered it was quite a long (20/25 minute walk) to the nearest convenience store & a bit further to a liquor store. The main supermarket (New world) really needs transport to get to. As we were only there for 3 days - we managed - but some may wish to arrange a taxi from reception if needing to stock up for a longer stay (which we did to get us to our whale watching experience). Also - to walk to the cluster of restaurants was also a 8-10 minute walk. A fabulous place in a tranquil location. Highly recommended.

We had a first floor apartment on the front corner so both balconies had stunning view overlooking the sea front (there is a road between the apartments and the sea front but we didn’t find that a problem at all - slept very well). Apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including washing machine & tumble dryer. The apartment is great location if you are booked to go swimming with dolphins or kayaking -offices for both literally a couple of minutes walk away. Also lovely little cinema right next door.

We loved our stay in Apt. 8 which is close to the front, on the top floor with a lovely view. Two bedrooms, bathrooms and open plan kitchen, dining and living space with a lovely balcony, complete with table and chairs. We had everything we needed, fully equipped kitchen, ironing board, iron, air conditioning in the main living space, heated towel rails in both bathrooms (plus heaters) and a washing machine with separate dryer. There’s Alexas in all rooms, TV, sound system etc. The location is superb, parking is below the apartments in allocated spaces and there was a really useful information folder in the apartment. This was a lovely chance for us to catch up on our laundry, enjoy some home cooked food and explore the fantastic area. I’d definitely book to stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to return!

Perfect location in Kiakoura. Walkable distance to everything but just far enough away for a quiet night sleep. Perfect communication from Sue and a lovely welcome. Lovely and clean apartment with a great view from the balcony. Parking was simply under the apartment and provided rear access. Would certainly stay here again and recommend a stay!

Greatt location right on the beachfront close to the seal colony (a few minutes drive then a 15 min walk )easy walk to town and restaurants . Not much more to add I would definitely stay there again . Crayfish was a must as it’s from Kaikōura and we enjoyed a couple of meals .
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your great review. Hope to welcome you back again. Warmest regards, Sue
