What a gem! Kaikora is lovely but i feel like we hit the jackpot with this hotel. Above and beyond service, best shower in all NZ. Gorgeous view. Wished a balcony room was available when we booked.

Good hotel but could do better
Lovely hotel in a good location. Food and staff great but for a relatively new hotel would have expected smart TVs, better wifi in rooms and furniture to be available on balconies.
