Hotel in zona Dolphin Encounter, Kaikoura

Viaggiando in via strada per 6 settimane in Nuova Zelanda, dopo un giorno di guida, siamo arrivati per un soggiorno di 2 notti, pronti a sistemarsi e rilassarsi. Purtroppo c'era un errore nella nostra prenotazione - abbiamo prenotato 2 notti, ma ci hanno avuto solo per una notte e è stato il weekend di Pasqua occupato. La nostra prenotazione è stata fatta 11 mesi prima e immediatamente hanno riconosciuto il loro errore e ci hanno aggiornato all'unica stanza sinistra, un appartamento di fronte alla spiaggia! La stanza era una posizione molto pulita, meravigliosa e la migliore di tutte, un letto molto confortevole e un incredibile rifugio per sedersi e guardare l'oceano dalle nostre porte della cortile!

New modern hotel with a mainly neutral colour scheme. Reasonable amount of parking on site, or plenty along the Esplanade. Rooms average size. We went as a group so we had no choice, many of us ended up in rooms with twin beds, they are very comfortable but when you share your bed with your spouse, this wasn't expected nor enjoyed. No electric blankets. It's the middle of winter. I did phone reception 3 times over a couple of issues but the calls were never answered. The rooms heat pump is good, though no heating in the corridor and reception is rather cool too. Tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. Glasses, but no wine glasses in the rooms. Good sized bathroom and good shower. They only provide one hard club chair, seating for anyone else there's a round squab or the bed. Most of the signs are in Maori, only one in our large group could understand a few words. The large group of Asians also staying had no idea of what anything meant. Excellent staff. Helpful and friendly. Uniforms a little casual for this level of hotel. Catering for large groups can often be a challenge, the food offered suited all tastes and was very good. Good cocktail menu. I don't drink much, but really enjoy an Aussie Shiraz, but they only stock NZ wines. Just meant I drank water. The hotel is sited down the south end of the Esplanade, so a bit of a walk to the township. Good, modern, clean, quiet 4.5 star hotel.

From the moment we walked into Waves, we knew that we were going to enjoy ourselves. There is parking underneath that it is a bit difficult to get in and out, thank goodness for reverse cameras in cars. The view from the room is spectacular and we were lucky enough to have two perfect beautiful days. We had a two bedroom apartment, one of which had an ensuite. Each room had a queen size bed and luggage rack. There was a washing machine and dryer and you could ask for an airer too. The unit was very comfortable, had magnificent views and was nice and quiet. It also had a pod coffee machine. The room is serviced daily. Towels, tea towels, etc are all replaced and the beds made. Would definitely recommend Waves.

The office were lovely enough to let us in early which was great, lovely clean unit and linen and towels were lovely, and fully equipped kitchen. Only down fall was there was a terrible smell in unit which i did tell office in morning and the seemed to think it was from the people before us, seemed worse on returning at night after unit had been closed up for a couple of hours. Our unit had a lovely upstairs balcony with sea / street views, and staff all were very friendly

Il vantaggio è che la cucina può cucinare, non sulla costa, ma l'ingresso è ancora più conveniente.La camera d'albergo ha molti modelli, può guidare da sola, o poche persone possono vivere in una stanza, in cima e in fondo, utilizzando una cucina pubblica, o può vivere in suite familiari o in camera standard.

Sono un ospite regolare al Lobster Inn, sono lì ogni due settimane e sono sempre impressionato dal servizio amichevole e utile, le camere sono sempre senza spot, bellissimi letti comodi, i proprietari si prendono cura di fornire un servizio vecchio e sono sempre in moda. Il bar e il ristorante possono godere di una buona varietà di pasti con specialità regolari e aggiunte al menu. Viaggio a lungo per il mio lavoro e ho una buona occasione di criticare l' alloggio dell' Isola meridionale le tariffe del Lobster Inn Kaikoura al top della mia lista preferita .

We were recommended to stay, by friends, and we were not disappointed. Very clean, tidy, cosy unit for an overnight stay on our way to Christchurch. Friendly hosts, Shirley and Morgan, and our unit 12, Studio unit had everything we needed. Quiet from highway noise. You do hear the 2 trains but we love hearing them. Loved the fact that we could go out the gate at the end of the property and walk onto the beautiful, pounding surf beach. Sunrise the next morning, with snow on the mountains, was stunning. We will be back.

Due camere familiari prenotate e piccole sono molto conveniente. Parcheggio gratuito vicino a un grande supermercato per circa cinque minuti. È molto conveniente andare a cena a Downtown. È una buona scelta.La ricezione è molto consigliata

We chose this motel because we were in a ute towing a furniture trailer and it looked to have good parking. This was certainly the case, and the owners went out of their way to make sure we had good parking. We were en route from Taupo to Queenstown and stayed two single nights on the way down and back. The units (12 and 15) had everything we needed for one night, they were clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable, the heat pump was very welcome and the kitchen had all that we needed (I liked the fact there was a coffee plunger although I didn't use it). Downside - no flannels in the bathroom on the first night (unit 12) and the units looked tired and dated, especially unit 15. A lick of paint would do wonders. WiFi was not very good but the weather was poor, especially on the second visit and I think the atmospherics were not helping.

Perfect for overnight stay in bedside. Comfortable king sized bed. Good shower with washing supplies Tea and coffee supplied, with toaster and refrigerator for use in unit. Just out of town center. Very quiet area as part of golf course area. Free Parking avaliable.Would stay again if in the area. Staff helpful. If you require a meal, you would need to drive back into town.
