Peaceful in South-Bay Kaikoura
Tucked away in South Bay, Kaikoura, the Bay Cottages offered us a relaxing stay. Our cottage was spacious, the kitchen well-equipped, the living area and the bed comfy. Everything was very clean and tidy. Its in a great location to explore the Kaikoura area. Only a short drive away from downtown or a walk over the hill. we enjoyed our stay and can only recommend it.

Fantastic hosts, extremely clean & well presented. It was nice to be out of the mainstream but close enough if wanted to indulge in retail therapy or dine out.

10/10 Exceptional

Good, quiet back section. Comfortable twin beds. Great heater. The shower spread water widely in the bathroom which wasn't so good.
Wigs, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable and quiet
This was a nice hotel with great amenities. Very friendly check in. Private and quiet. The office could be better marked (you have to go behind the house on the street). Property and room was very clean. The beds in the cottage we stayed in were past their best before date and need to be changed out. The on site laundry was awesome and the lady offered a drying rack too. Very sweet.
Tammy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All communicationwas friendly and helpful. We were going to be arriving late, so we rang to let them know. We received a cheerful response saying this would be fine. The unit was very clean and warm. It was fully set up with all utensils and appliances. Although it wasn't required it was good to see the unit including the bathroom facilities were accessible to disabled people. If we return to the area we would certainly return here and also recommend Bay Cottages.
