The proximity to the airport is a plus, as well as the complimentary shuttle service - even in the middle of the night. Our spacious room surpirised us positively. Breakfast was good and abundant. We had no problems with any airplane noise.

Everything about our stay at the Hamptons was thoroughly enjoyable. The property is ideally situated on the waterfront and a short walk into town. The room was well equipped and spotlessly clean with a beautiful area to sit out the front and enjoy the views. The highlight was the fabulous breakfast and Patrick and Mary-Claire who were wonderful hosts. Highly recommend the Hamptons to anyone spending time in Kaikoura.

Seamless check-in and they gave us our room sooner than expected. Lots of good advice from the host, who helped us plan our day, and the room and the breakfast were lovely.

Friendly staff, comfortable room w kitchenette. Spotlessly clean, even the grout in the shower, which is grubby in most other places. Walking distance to the hot pools, shops, and restaurants. Lots of lovely touches, like Band-aids, a hot water bottle, and an umbrella.

Perfect location to explore schools and access to city centre; very quiet; the loft design made it feel much more spacious for 2 adults and 1 child on a 4 night stay (the extra bed for our daughter actually made it more homely); very comfortable beds and linen, clean, lovely warm in winter, Netflix, handy kitchenette; and good sized bathroom. Friendly staff.

this hotel had every home comfort you cold imagine, the spa bath was amazing and the welcome on arrival second to none. a privately owned boutique hotel with great facilities and close walking distance to all the hammer restaurants and bars as well as the springs just across the road. lovely towels were provided by the owners to take into the spring and this saves you a few dollars, the owners were amazing and their attention to detail was fantastic

Beautiful boutique style hotel and gorgeous room, situated right on top of a tram stop! Quiet part of Christchurch. Walking distance to cute New Regent Street, lovely OGB bar across the road, amazing street art, Cathedral redevelopment and eventually the car hire for our road trip. Charismatic and super helpful hotel concierge.

Beautifully designed development in attractive natural landscaping set high over the town, but only about a five minute drive into town. Well equipped and very comfortable studio apartment with lovely modern bathroom. Deka and Wayne are charming hosts.

Stunning location - easy access to the whole Lake Tekapo village - very impressive architecture & design of apartments. Beware that its a very spread out resort & you mostly need to drive from reception to your apartment. Nice buffet breakfast.
