A quiet place to stay with stunning mountain views
Lovely home, great location - had a chilly night and made use of the woodstove, such a treat. 5 stars all round, would stay again, would recommend. Thank you :)

Dolphin Cottage by the Beach
Great place to stay in Kaikōura! Steps from the beach and Esplanade. Night sky was amazing; we could see everything there is to see. Comfy place with a kitchen, which was great to have. The host was very friendly and helpful when we had to check in late, leaving on the light and heat for us. The shower is not the best for tall folks, but plenty of hot water! Overall a fantastic option and we'd definitely stay again next time we're in the area.

5-Bed (own bathrooms) Villa & Hot Tub
We loved staying at the Villa, the perfect spot for our families to get away. the Spa was an absolute bonus esp with the snow. The house was heated upon arrival which was so welcoming. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Thank you.

Beach Escape Direct Ocean View
WOW is all we could say as we walked into this beautiful home - the photos did not do it justice - the views are breathtaking. The home was so very peaceful, clean and tidy, and warm - with a fabulous kitchen Whilst the bed is a bit small for 2 people, it is comfy - we like a firm bed Lovely walks, the town is about 5mins drive. Fabulous pub 5 mins walk away (Pier House) We will definitely recommend this place to our friends Keina's home fits in exactly with the magical Kaikoura vibe THANKS AGAIN Keina - amazing place to stay - we'll be back

My friend and I had a great time at this airbnb in Kaikōura! The place was super clean and we loved the way it was decorated - very fitting for this lovely beach town. Jason was proactive, friendly, and an amazing host! We would definitely want to stay here again when we come back in summer season. Thanks for a great stay!!

Prime New Apartment | Kaikōura
I highly recommend Caitlin’s place! The house is brand new, spotless, and beautifully maintained—everything was so clean and tidy when we arrived. The bed was incredibly warm and comfortable, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The towels were soft, fluffy, and felt like hotel quality. The home is fully equipped with everything you might need, from kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches that made our stay feel extra cozy. Caitlin was also a great host—very responsive and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!

Queen Studio

Studio for 2 people
Presently surprised with the accomodation.

Fyffe Apartment Glenburn Coastal Retreat Kaikoura
Absolutely spectacular in every way! By far the best place we’ve ever stayed in. We had dreadful weather during our stay which meant going out was not an option, but with a place like this it didn’t matter a bit. We were cosy and had everything we needed and watched the waves crash and the wild weather all day long from the amazing big windows. The views are incredible and that’s with limited visibility so can only imagine how stunning they are on a good day! Cannot recommend this place highly enough, we’d love to return one day. Thank you so much ☺️

deVine Stay The Waves Oceanfront
This apartment opening out onto the beautiful Kaikoura Bay was fantastic. We awoke to a beautiful sunrise both mornings from our bedroom. The apartment was Immaculately presented with attention to detail in all aspects. It boasts quality fittings, towels, linen etc. Proximity to the local picture theater allowed me to nip next door to watch 'Tina' which I thoroughly loved. Walking distance to restraunts. Very, very good value for money.

2 Bedroom, Beautiful Sunset Hideaway!
Lovely little spot off the main road, super easy to find, yet extremely quiet and peaceful. Easy walk into the heart of Kaikoura. Perfect for a little get away.
