Manakau Lodge features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Kaikoura.

Manakau Lodge is situated beautifully between the ocean and the mountains. Janice was a wonderful and gracious host, helping me with dinner recommendations and reservations, offering to drive us there, showing us walking trails nearby and providing us with fresh eggs for breakfast. The lodge is just perfect. Clean, beautiful, and had all the perfect “touches”. The sunrise that morning was incredible.

Boutique Hotel Kaikoura is housed in a historic 1880s building, just 10 minutes' walk from Kaikoura Town. Each room features a refrigerator, a 32-inch flat-screen TV and a coffee/tea plunger.

We had a very nice overnight stay at the Boutique Hotel Kaikoura. The chalets were nice and I particularly enjoyed the breakfast the next morning. It was also a bonus to have parking readily available on site.

    What a lovely motel at the edge of Kaikoura. The views are amazing, back towards the mountains - and the motel is designed so every room gets the benefit. Comfortable beds, everything you need in the room for a night away. Loved that we could have our Labrador with us.

    we enjoyed staying at this beautiful place. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, such a lovely location with these breathtaking views and surrounding sound of nature. The incredible interior design with clearly an eye for detail made it a real joy to stay. The beds were super comfy and me and my mum left fully relaxed. The cute cuddly bunny is an absolute bonus. I will definitely come back and recommend the cottage to friends and family.

    A beautifully designed property that I'm sure would be stunning to stay in any time of the year! Sitting in the bath and looking at the mountains was one of the highlights of my whole trip to NZ

    The accommodation is beautifully designed, decorated, laid out and equipped. The owners have put alot of time, effort and thinking into making this stunning 5 star retreat. From the little touches and homely ideas, to the modern , clean , crisp decor, this place is sublime. Brilliantly located, with the mountains one side and the sea the other you get the best of both worlds. The resident birds, hedgehogs and alike make sitting in the garden a must. Just book it, go there, relax and unwind, we can not recommend it ENOUGH! Phenomenal place!

    The house is located at a perfect off the grid spot which is a short drive from Kaikoura. The host was very friendly and efficient in replying queries. There were thoughtful touches through the house. The place is modern and features designer interior and views to the river and sea. The outdoor bath was perfect for relaxing.
