“The Best!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We spent one night at Nikau Lodge and really wished we could have stayed more...we were leaving South Island the next day and what an amazing, welcoming, friendly and so comfortable stay we had with Quentin and Jane. We so loved the walk along the cliff top and exploring the beach and rocks below. Restaurants, so many to choose from,... More

“A home way from Home”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Me and my boyfriend stayed in Kaikoura for one night and found the place fantastic!! Our whale watching trip was cancelled and Jane gave us plenty of activities to do in the rain including seeing the seal cubs at the waterfall (a particular highlight of ours) and enjoying glass of wine in the hot tub in the rain. We had... More

It was a shame your Whale Watch trip was cancelled, but as you found out there are lots of other things to do in Kaikoura and the seal pups are a hightlight for lots of our guests. Thank you very much for your review. More

“Recommended By Frommer's & we agree!”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

On Frommer's recommendation, we booked our stay in Kaikoura at the Nikau Lodge. This B & B is even better than the write ups! Quentin & Jane were very gracious hosts. The rooms were great, the views were superb and the breakfast was delicious!

Thank you very much for recommending us. More

What a fantastic place to find in Kaikoura. The best B and B we have ever stayed in! The hosts Quentin and Jane were very welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The B and B is located slightly above the main street but has easy access through some short cuts which Quentin informed us... More

Kaikoura was the first stop on our recent honeymoon in New Zealand and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Beautiful rooms with stunning rooms, great hospitality (Quentin & Jane (and Jack!) were so welcoming, going out of their way to help us make the most of our time in Kaikoura) and cooking up literally the BEST homecooked...

Impressive seaview, tidy room, very good breakfast, very friendly and easy-going hosts - including Jack the Border terrier. Good location to reach the restaurants and whale watching. Absolutely nothing to complain about!

So glad you loved our stunning sea views and that Jack did a good job of being an easy going host! More

“Great cosy place and very welcoming”

Reviewed 31 March 2013 via mobile

Great cosy place with excellent hosts who are extremely knowledgable on the area. Views are spectacular! Breakfasts are huge so wake up with an appetite. You easily park the car at the lodge and walk into town for dinner.

Thank you very much for the review. We agree our views are spectacular. It is stunning this morning with a fresh coating of snow on the mountains. More

So glad you enjoyed your stay and that our porridge met the Scottish approval (however I don't think my grandma Wilson would have approved of the fruit and honey in it!).
