Glenburn Coastal Retreat
9.9 (180 reviews)

Glenburn Coastal Retreat ★★★★

📍 413 Old Beach Road, Hapuku

"Absolutely spectacular! Facing the sea with snow-capped mountains in the background, although there's little snow, it doesn't detract from the view. Just 5 minutes from the city center, a quiet and beautiful world! The rooms were spacious and comfortable; we stayed for a week… but the hotel hasn't replied to my emails? No solution?"

Koura Bay Golf Resort
8.8 (37 reviews)

Koura Bay Golf Resort ★★★★

📍 75 Koura Bay Drive, Hapuku

"We checked-in at resort's bar what is reception as well. It was very welcoming in so relaxing environment with a lot of comfortable seating inside and outside. Bar offers good coffee, refreshment and snacks what is very convenient. There is excellent golf pro shop as well. In spite being earlier than official check-in time they let as in, as our room was ready. The room was clean and specious with amazing view. Bathroom was accessible for wheelchair users ( we didn't need it or asked for) and was very nicely fitted- not sure if all rooms are with the same bathroom category. Receptionist book dinner for us in the town as we express our interest in testing famous local crayfish. Highlight of ours stay is playing golf that exceeded our expectation. It is 9 holes course but most of the holes are between 300 and 400 m and course is in excellent conditions. There are golf equipment and electric golf cart for hire and free trundles. After checking out we wanted to play another round and owner of the resort was very kind and told that we can enjoy playing as long as we want without any charge. All together very highly recommended venue with excellent service. Zana and Boris"

Mr & MRS Smith Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses ★★★★★

📍 8 Station Road, Hapuku

"What a fantastic experience we had staying at the Hapuku. Our room was in the lodge looking over the pool and towards the spectacular mountains. The room was perfect. We'll maintained clean and functional. They have thought of small things to make the guests stay more pleasant. The mineral pool was lovely. Not hot but great especially for some laps. We enjoyed the complementary bikes and a nice walk around the property and to the beach. The food was next level. I could not fault it. I have left the best till last the staff. They were so helpful and their attention to detail was appreciated. Such a fantastic weekend. Thankyou."

Cubby House Stay Kaikoura ★★★★

📍 593 Kincaid Road, Hapuku

"This is the first time I've written a review that's taken so long, all to better help promote the host. If I had to pinpoint the most memorable part of my 14-day New Zealand trip, it would be this Airbnb experience. If you're only going to New Zealand for one place, you absolutely must stay here for at least two days, because even one day will make you want to go back. On a budget, the beautiful scenery, abundant high-quality food, amusement park rides, zoo experience, art exhibition, and free English listening lesson (the host's enthusiastic introduction lasted at least one lesson) already made it well worth the price. However, the impact of the experience is invaluable; it's truly unique. Touching and fun moments overwhelmed my senses one after another throughout the day, a stark contrast to the standard services of self-driving tours. For example, some guesthouses provide uniformly sized, clean "free-range eggs." But here, you'll find a cute egg-shaped cage filled with eggs of various sizes and colors, some still showing signs of freshness (you know what I mean). We even cracked open a double-yolk egg! The next morning, when the landlady took us on a tour of her "zoo," we discovered the eggs' special nature: each hen had a name, all were beautiful and robust, lived in the world's most beautiful chicken farm, free-range under two enormous pine trees, able to stand high and gaze at the distant mountains at any time. The landlady came to hug them every day; they even had their own swings, villas... The eggs laid by such happy chickens were indeed delicious. Scenes like this continued until we left: a fireplace burning brightly as soon as we entered in the evening, a cabinet full of board games, a wealth of video games, an antique piano, paintings left by guests, lambs with different hairstyles, a pig that thought it was a dog, a cow and an ostrich, a gluttonous calf, a deer that recognized a cow as its father, a cage of parrots of various breeds, the landlady's son was incredibly handsome yet shy, and the landlady's mother was practically a witch, possessing the patience and wisdom of a 60-year-old and the passion and energy of an 18-year-old. She and her family had nurtured and managed all of this. When she introduced herself as having six children, we fell into deep thought. If travel is about experiencing the ultimate in various things, then coming here is about experiencing just how far the ultimate in life can extend. Comparing this to our usual ability to handle everyday tasks has given our whole family pause for thought."

Koura Bay Golf Resort ★★★★
"What a great surprise. This place was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and the room was fantastic. Great curtains which covers out the total light which is great if you need a sleep in. When you draw back the curtains, the sun blazes in to room allowing you a view over the go,f course down to the coast. The golf course was included in the price and it was fun and challenging."

Mr & MRS Smith Hapuku Lodge & Tree Houses ★★★★★
"Amazing accommodations with beautiful views, wonderful food and fantastic hospitality! We stayed in two of the treehouses. Not many stairs, but high enough for beautiful views of both the countryside and the ocean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with great amenities including a cozy seating area with a fireplace. Both breakfast and dinner were included, and were beautifully presented and delicious using so many ingredients from their own farm. Lots of great cocktail options and a nice area to enjoy drinks before dinner. We also enjoyed the pool, hot tub and sauna. Close enough to Kaikoura to enjoy all the activities there, yet unique and special. One of our favorite stays in NZ!!"

Cubby House Stay Kaikoura ★★★★
"This is the best house in Kaikoura, New Zealand! Without a doubt! The host is incredibly welcoming. The house has everything you could need, making it perfect for a family trip. For children, the toys and games are paradise! The animals on the farm are incredibly friendly and approachable, and each one is unique and full of life! The views are breathtaking, overlooking the entire city of Kaikoura. I highly recommend staying two nights. Kaikoura has amazing activities!"
