    This hotel had a remote position out on the peninsula. Besides, it was close enough to the wild seal colony and the south island.

    Loved the well-appointed and tastefully decorated room. A bathtub in the private bathroom was a plus. The location was very scenic, very close to the center as well as the beach at the Point where the seals entertain everybody, and had astonishing views. The staff was very, very nice and always greeted us;)))

    Located on the coast up north of the town center, The Point B&B offers a tranquil escape right on the beach. Guests can enjoy breathtaking views and take leisurely walks along the shoreline. Just a short distance away, there are several nice eateries where you can indulge in delicious seafood. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with ensuite bathrooms and good showers. The hosts, Gwenda and Peter, are friendly and make you feel welcome. The breakfast, although basic, includes a tasty fresh egg on toast. The property also has a dog and a cat, adding to the homely atmosphere.

    Some guests felt that the rooms appeared tired and in need of updating.

    The Point B&B had the best aspects for me. The location was perfect, being very close to everything in Kaikoura. It was away from the busy town center, providing a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Additionally, it was within easy reach of the attractions, offering stunning views of the sea and mountains. The cleanliness of the hotel was immaculate, and the facilities provided were top-notch. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast served was delicious, and I enjoyed having it while overlooking the breathtaking view.

    In terms of the worst aspects, I have nothing to say. All was good.

    The owner was pleasant and helpful, inviting us to use the family spa and join them for a drink on their deck. The location at the end of the peninsular was beautiful, with easy access to the beach and seal colony. The room was comfortable and the cooked breakfast was delicious with freshly made eggs and homemade jams.

    Had a great New Year stay at a B&B. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room had a lovely view of the nearby seal colony and the ocean, making it a perfect location to explore the area.

    We did find the room to be a bit cramped and outdated. The bathroom was quite small and could use some renovations.

    I had an amazing stay at a charming B&B nestled in a beautiful location. The host, Pete, was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The rooms were beautifully restored and furnished with antique pieces, adding to the unique charm of the place. The proximity to the water was a bonus, and I enjoyed watching the sunrise over the sea. The breakfast offered a variety of delicious options, including homemade Kiwi jam that I highly recommend trying. I had a fantastic experience and would definitely return.

    I had a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel. The location was absolutely brilliant, situated on the peninsula and just across the road from the ocean. The proximity to the seal colony and coastal track made it very convenient for exploring the area. The room I stayed in was impeccably clean and comfortable, with lovely views over the garden. The hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable, providing excellent service and making me feel very welcome. I particularly loved the terrace and garden furniture, which offered a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings. The amenities in the room were superb, including ironing facilities, free toiletries, and a flat-screen TV, providing enhanced comfort and convenience.

    This hotel is highly recommended for everyone.

    The breakfast had a great selection, with homemade jam and friendly hosts who shared insider tips on local activities. The location was ideal for nature lovers, with easy access to a seal colony and stunning sunrise views.

    During our stay, there was a family function that made it uncomfortable to use the shared areas, like the kitchen and lounge. The cleanliness could have been better, with a lack of attention to detail and self-service required throughout our stay.
