Bendamere House Bed & Breakfast Reviews

Excellent stay in a beautiful location - very clean and great hosts

Fabulous place to stay. The view was amazing. Grounds were lovely. Room was comfortable, stylish, and clean. Would have loved to stay longer. Julie is a great host and made us a warm and satisfying breakfast.

The B&B has a total of five guest rooms. The rooms are very spacious, each with a large bed and a single bed. The bathroom is also very large. The B&B is managed by the hostess Juliet, who also makes breakfast. She also baked delicious cakes and placed them in the guest room for us to enjoy. The B&B has a large garden facing the sea, the best place to watch the sunrise.

The breakfast bread made by Julie is very delicious. The room is clean. There is a beautiful backyard with a direct view of the sea when you open the door. It is also a 5-minute walk to the center of Kaikoura town. It is very convenient to go anywhere.

We arrived in the evening because it was raining heavily, and the landlord was already waiting in the parking lot. The view from the house is quite great. Will stay a few more days next time.

Very nice, facing the snow-capped mountains and the sea, it's beautiful. The host is very friendly, the room is clean and the town center is a convenient 10-minute walk away.

風景特別好，房東太太很熱情👍還送了巧克力、自己烤的黃油餅乾

環境：風景絕美，房子前有一片主人自家的草坪，打理的很乾凈，可以看到海。離凱庫拉中心很近。 衞生：乾淨，房間內也很乾凈舒適。 服務：女主人是位奶奶，會準備精緻的早餐，果醬麪包咖啡。品類不多但擺盤之類的都很精緻好看。

房東人還是不錯的，會送自己烤制的餅乾給顧客，很好吃。早餐豐盛，湖景很美，房間價格是比較貴，但一分錢一分貨。房間沒有廚房，如果在周邊海釣處理海鮮需要到外面餐館。

房間很好，女主人很熱情人很好

Stayed here for 2 nights during our road trip around New Zealand. The rooms are so homely and comfortable with great views too, breakfast in a communal area was lovely too. Julie the owner is so welcoming and makes the stay even better, she even makes you fresh shortbread. It’s a short walk into town with plenty of restaurants and a short drive to the seal colony where you see so many seals! We were sad to leave. I would highly recommend this accommodation as you really do get the personal touch. Thanks Julie!

We had an excellent stay at Bendamere House in March 2025. The setting is fantastic. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a fridge. A washing machine and dryer can be used for a nominal charge. There was a good breakfast. There is ample parking space.

This B&B is located above the main town and the gardens look out over the bay. That view, on a sunny day, is wonderful. It is possible to walk down into the town, or to the train station, where the whale watching tours depart from. However, their is ample parking at the station and in town, so on rainy days you can take the car. Rooms here are spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are generous and served at a communal table. Highly recommended.

My wife and I booked this on a whim based on the reviews in Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Hamptons which was on the ground floor which faced the garden with views out to the sea and the mountains. Great room which consisted of a king size bed and a single bed as well. Nice facilities to use with a small nook for making coffee and tea. Breakfast was a nice affair. Don't pass on Julie's ham and cheese croissant as this was delicious. It was nice to talk to Julie and Kerry as we could appreciate their love for their family, Kaikoura, their property and Kerry's love for fishing.
