The Waterfront Apartments are in an excellent location. The sunset and views from our balcony was unbelievable as Kaikoura is one of the more picturesque locations on our tour of New Zealand. Kaikoura itself had a very quaint, small town feel that was enjoyable. Our hosts were very helpful. They suggested a wonderful restaurant - White Morph - and it... more

I only stayed the one night, having arrived in the late afternoon to find my room wasn't quite ready, but it was very quickly finished off. I was warmly greeted by Mandy, her husband was away for a few days and she could not have been more helpful. The hospitality here is second to none. I was given an extensive... more

We only stayed for one night but the owners couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Great accommodation - clean with everything you could possibly need, including a very comfortable bed! The location is ideal - right on the Esplanade opposite the beach - with a short walk to the Dolphin Encounter and good restaurants. Highly recommended - we will... more

We stayed here for 5 nights in March 2007. The location is good – the resort is on the esplanade and all rooms have a short walk to the beach. We could actually see dolphins jumping out of the water from our apartment on one occasion, although apparently this is not common. As the resort was almost full, we finished... more

Once arrived were greeted by a very friendly and helpful man (owner), who was more then happy to draw us a map and tell us of things to do, he seemed disapointed we were only there for a night. The teenagers loved the sky tv with all of the chanels. Was a bit dirty though, had a washer which was... more

We stayed in two of their apartments as there was my husband, myself and our 6 children. The location is brilliant, but is let down so much by cheap construction and a complete lack of housekeeping. The dust was so thick that you could write on everything. Probably would choose to stay somewhere else next time. more

Stayed at Waterfront Apartments for 2 nights. There were 4 of us sharing an executive apartment which had superb views over the ocean. The apartment was very well equipped and beautifully clean. We ate on the balcony in the sunshine on one of the nights and at the White Morph Inn, which is a short walk away and a great... more

We enjoyed our stay in one of these new, clean apartments. They have very good kitchens and a washer/dryer. Some units have sea views. The staff were helpful and friendly. The development feels a little soulless - needs a little more greenery etc - but that didn't bother us. We thought it was fair value at NZ$150. The website is... more
