MManta YangFamily hotel, the boss grandfather enthusiastically introduced Kaikoura's attractions and recommended places to go, the whole family is very enthusiastic. The hotel is in a good location, next to the new market, very suitable for shopping. There is a parking space, and the beach is 50 meters away. Many people walk their dogs in the morning, which is very comfortable. The only drawback is that the sound insulation is not very good, but everyone is very quiet at night.

NNancy TubbsThis hotel isn't right near the town center but is close to New World groceries, and easy to get to. I was lucky enough to get a room with both an ocean and mountain view, both great. The room is very nicely furnished and spacious. Everything worked great, although I didn't try the tv. Staff is very nice. I hope to stay again!

WWangxiaojia7881Kaikura is beautiful, there are few people, the most worthwhile place for the hotel is to go out to have the most beautiful sunset, go out across the road is the beach, but the beach in New Zealand is really average, but with the sunset is still easy to make a blockbuster, check in The old couple is very enthusiastic, it should be a heavy local population. But everyone still communicates no problem, the fireplace of the room just for picture hahaha, but it will not be cold at night, because his quilt is too hot, the room is large, but the kitchen can not fry steak, go outside and finally give up, barely stay for one night is OK, the requirements are high not suitable
