We loved staying at Sudima Kaikoura. The hotel is great, the room was very spacious for a family of four and the view of the mountains and the beach was spectacular! The kids loved the pool also. The location is great, a short 10 minute walk to the town center and there was free parking all along the beach. We’d definitely come back!

The check in process was smooth with concierge actively helping with bags and finding what you needed. Rooms were clean and adjoining. We ate at the restaurant and it was fine for happy hour drinks and small plates. The pool was heated (but still not very warm). The location was nice and it was the best of the lodgings during our month-long travels.

Great hotel, clean, modern, parking available and comfy beds. Staff friendly. The restaurant gets very busy worth booking ahead. Seafood fettuccine was disappointing- no real flavour and not that tasty. Calamari was excellent. Kids choices sufficient and they provide complimentary drawing activities.
