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.

Great stay

All great, reception staff very welcoming, however, when I went back to inform them that there were no robes, iron & ironing board and yoga kit one receptionist was quite frosty - eventually all placed in room, though only 1 robe. Bar staff were very friendly, dining room had no availability so ate in bar. Second night there was a large coach party in, we found it easier & quicker to order via the table app. Food was good & well presented. Didn't use pool as much smaller than photos seem to suggest. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice.

Would stay again.

Second time staying here and was disappointed with certain aspects from the first time. As a former publican I would not employ certain bar staff from this hotel. Ordered a drink at the bar and waited for my drinks then noticed the person who took my order was serving someone else further along the bar, only assume he could not mix the drinks I had asked for and went to serve someone else, very rude. When you are paying top price for drink you expect top service. Apart from this the staff were very good and helpful, especially at reception.

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.
