Location is excellent.
Service needs to improve
1. Standard hotel will provide a box/pack of tissue for the guest - I need to request for it
2. In NZ, provide hot chocolate is quite standard, I requested 1st time not done, 2nd time I wrote a note on the desk and ONLY ONE packet of chocolate provided
3. The toilet is so small, for big people will be problem. There was a light non stop blinking, till now no answer and don't know the reason
4. No cupboard for clothes and the only fixed hanger on the wall and right above the table and next to the kettle which you will not able to hang your jacket or jeans properly. I requested for hanger in order to hand my clothes outside the bathroom bar.
We had a wonderful stay at Kaikoura Quality Suites. The Executive Studio had all the necessary amenities (heater, warm shower, kitchenette) for a good night's rest, along with parking right next door. The motel was conveniently located next to a petrol station and supermarket (New World), and just a short drive to the town centre. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful staff at check-in who also gave us a free glass of milk!
Goed verblijf en goed gelegen in christchurch. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk. Ook verschillende activiteiten te doen en goede lunch deals. Top verblijf!

LLouis ConnorWe were running late and were going to miss the advertised check-in time, so I called ahead to find out what to do. Although no-one answered the phone, we were informed by the automated answerphone that if you missed check-in, they would leave your keys to your room in a lock-box outside reception. This is a major plus for travellers as it can be so hard to execute your travel plans to schedule!
The facilities in The Lodge, where we were staying were mostly communal and hostel-like - people seemed to hang around in hallways. For some this could be a great way to socialise or otherwise intimidating. These communal areas were slightly untidy and unclean. We stayed in a room with en-suite facilities. It was very basic with two large twin beds pushed together to make a King-sized bed. The shower temperature fluctuated massively but we had a comfortable stay.
We did not eat on-site as we found it to be overpriced but we did notice that there was a wide range of social events such as a pub quiz which would have been super fun if we had more time!
BBaskerTotally love my 2 nights. Lovely staff. Well set up room w a superb view in a fantastic locale. Will surely stay here again when I am back in Christchurch.
CChak Heng AndrewThis hotel stay was an absolute delight, offering the perfect blend of convenience, stunning views, and high-quality amenities. The location right by the waterfront was simply breathtaking, and the proximity to the whale watching center was an added bonus.
While the unit was on the second floor, which required carrying our luggage upstairs, the view from the elevated position was well worth it. There was also the option of requesting a ground floor unit if stairs are a concern.
The check-in and check-out process was a breeze, with clear instructions provided and a designated key return box for added convenience. Having an assigned parking space just outside the unit was also a thoughtful touch.
But the true highlight of this hotel stay was the shower. The water pressure and temperature control were absolutely perfect, making for a luxurious and refreshing experience. And being able to watch the sunrise from the unit was the icing on the cake.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil, waterfront retreat with top-notch amenities and stunning views. The combination of the convenient location, well-appointed unit, and exceptional shower made this an unforgettable stay.
