This is a really lovely place to stay, I'd highly recommend it! The french girl & Italian boy who I booked with are both really nice & very helpful & all of the staff are helpful & nice. The owners were lovely too & their little boy was very sweet. The location is good & it has a great view of the sea. The rooms & kitchen & whole place are really clean & the whole place has a lovely, welcoming vibe.

I spent a few nights here and needed some space so I booked the spacious (family) room (with sea view) which had enough space to put my yoga mat down, it has a super comfy queen bed, was nice, clean, warm & had stunning views from the bed. People were friendly and the kitchen set up is great too.

It's fine. It's clean and tidy. The view from the dining room is incredible. I didn't like the mattress; it was extremely uncomfortable. Also, each room didn't have its own outlet or light. There was a problem at reception because they didn't send a code, and my check-in was delayed.

Really clean facilities, good hot water, owners were helpful when we did see them, maybe we interrupted something when we arrived but didn't get a friendly welcome, didn't get the check in info email until after our chosen check in time (not 5am as stated we would). Overall would stay again. Would be a decent walk into town without a car but doable.

This is my favourite place to stay in Kaikōura and brings back many happy memories when I was a young backpacker staying at this beautiful hostel when it was a YHA many years ago! Such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere, clean, tastefully decorated with a well-equipped kitchen. I love it here and would recommend this affordable accommodation to all. Many thanks to the new owners for keeping the place going!

A comfortable room with ensuite, and good shared kitchen and lounge with beautiful views across to the water and mountains behind. Had everything we needed at a very reasonable price

My family enjoyed the fantastic location and fabulous view from this hostel. The kitchen is handy for making meals and the sitting and dining areas are great places to hang out if the weather takes a turn!

Super logement, propre et calme avec une superbe vue de la cuisine ! Mes amis et moi avons apprécié le lounge où l'on a pu se regarder un film.
