New and clean hotel, very good room with nice soft bed. TV almost unfathomable, spent a long time trying to get anything - and I’m techie! Failed. Only one small negative, we had been looking forward to the wonderful Kaikoura sea view, but wer told that if we wanted that, it would be an additional $230 on top of what we had paid!! — for just one night.

Beautiful hotel. The location is right across from the beach so cannot beat the view. Nice short walk to town. The restaurant needs serious improvement. The staff were lovely and the bar was nice but the food quality was poor.

This hotel was lovely, definitely worth staying if you’re in kaikoura. Everything feels fresh and new still. Check in was a bit slow but I think the hotel was busy so lots of people asking questions at the reception desk. Annoyingly the car park was full when we arrived so it’s worth keeping in mind that parking is not guaranteed but we were able to find street parking close by relatively easily. Pool was nice especially as it was heated, there’s a limited number of loungers around the pool but we didn’t have a problem finding a spot. You can also order food and drinks via a QR code to the pool. The restaurant is really nice, we had dinner and the food was delicious.

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!
