We wanted to know where to get the best chowder in town and our motel owner recommended us this unassuming little cafe and boy did they live up to expectations!...

"Extremely nice and accommodating staff, but their food is truly top tier. Sometimes visiting a small town the food options can be hit or miss but they certainly are a hit! The steak was served with bone marrow on the side, which was quite a treat. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"A cafe amongst the container precinct in the middle of Kaikoura town centre. It has a modern decor with fierce timber look and a hip millennial feel throughout this small but cosy space. There is also honey tasting experience run by a local expert and bee enthusiast within this cafe. The location is connected with the outdoor courtyard which is equipped with supersized board games for you to share your IQ with other travellers."

"They were really busy but found a space for my daughter and I. The food menu was ME! It was my birthday so, of course, I had the Crayfish. Not cheap, anywhere (unless you catch it yourself) but they had a bus tour in and out, in like 20mins and Crayfish was on their menu too. It's always going to upset the Apple cart, but still they found time and humour for us. Brilliant! Made my night. Great work team and thanks from a Dad and his daughter. Great atmosphere too and they support local musicians. Highly recommended!"

"Didint stay just called in for a drink but what a beautiful place! Met the new owner, this place is huge, fire going, grounds are stunning, perfect for a wedding or event, 29 rooms of various sizes and the whole camper/caravan sites and facilities look awesome. Clean place and friendly welcoming staff. Restaurant and bar both look well stocked and inviting. Owner said dog could be here outside. Lovely place."
