We were in the Canterbury area for 11 days, and The Fairways was my favourite one-night stopover. We received the most warm welcome from Kelly. She made sure that our room was ready, all the necessary heaters and lights were on - well prepared for our arrival. She also shared with us her favourite restaurant - where we had one... more

For only one night in Kaikoura, it is an excellent accommodation, with a wonderful manager. It's clean, modern, spacious and very comfortable. It's a short drive away from the town to get some shopping done, and its very peaceful and quiet at night. There were free dvds to borrow from the manager to kill time at night. Perhaps the only... more

We stayed for two nights whilst whale watching. The apartments are a couple of miles south of Kaikoura and are excellent, in fact the best apartments we stayed in during our trip around North and South Islands. They are really modern with superb kitchen and bathroom and a beautiful log effect gas fire in the lounge area. They are well... more

We spent 3 nights at “The Faiways” in Kaikoura, also 3 nights in the summer before. Location: The resort is located 5 min by car from the town centre of Kaikoura, on the south entrance of the town. The area is under construction, which means new houses and grounds are built, but in the year that passed between our first... more

We had a quick overnight here before going whale watching and were totally happy. The room was small but smart and the bathroom was very nice. There is plenty of parking in front of each unit and the woman at the front desk was friendly. Not too many viable options in the area, so this is a good choice. more

I know it's been 6 months but I really wanted to rate this hotel. It is located just out of town, so you'll need a car, but the accommodation is great, spotlessly clean, full kitchen, laundry etc. Golf course at your door. It's new, so everything is fresh and so far well maintained. Reception will book any day trips -... more

Well worth taking a break here. Clean, and very comfortable, with everything you could want while traveling. Friendly staff and so close to a golf course, what more could you ask for. more

This motel comes highly recommended by the Tripadvisor community and it does not disappoint. It is set-back from the main road (remember in NZ, a main road is just 2 lanes with a max of 2 or 3 cars every five minutes) and next to a golf course, with a 15 minute stroll up to a small hill with breath-taking... more

We stayed for just one night and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of accomodation. The only downside was that we wish we had booked a longer stay! Right from the check-in welcome from the owners through to the superbly appointed apartments, everything was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for Sarah or Stephen, they set us... more
