Te Mahuru Retreat Kaikoura: Lodge up to 13 people

SatishRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Jennifer's place home away home. Felt so comfortable away from home. Each and every thing, she has given importance for the comfort of residents. One need not worry about any thing. She is a wonderful host, waited for us to reach the place and given all the information needed for us and left. She has maintained that place so neat and comfy. We would love to return to Kaikura and stay in Jennifer's place and also recommend this place for every one. Home away home. Wonderful break fast with lots of variety and no one is left out in that spread. She has even taken care of small details for us, when we reached so late. Thank you Jennifer for the hospitality and god bless you.

Dolphin Cottage by the Beach

LillianRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great place to stay in Kaikōura! Steps from the beach and Esplanade. Night sky was amazing; we could see everything there is to see. Comfy place with a kitchen, which was great to have. The host was very friendly and helpful when we had to check in late, leaving on the light and heat for us. The shower is not the best for tall folks, but plenty of hot water! Overall a fantastic option and we'd definitely stay again next time we're in the area.

A glass-topped table is set with two drinks and a bottle, positioned on a terrace. Behind, the snow-capped Kaikoura ranges rise majestically above a calm coastline, with the sun illuminating the landscape, highlighting the natural beauty of the area.

ShihuiRating, 5 stars5 months ago

I have been using Airbnb for 8 years, and Peter and Tuti’s home is the best experience I have ever had—one I will probably remember forever. There are so many highlights about the place: the rooms are super clean, tidy, comfortable, tastefully decorated, and carefully maintained. Tuti is a chef herself, so you will enjoy top-class kitchenware along with fresh eggs and milk from their farm. The wooden furniture adds a lovely touch, and the mattress is very comfortable. Peter is very responsive and always replies to messages within seconds in a helpful way. In a nutshell, Peter and Tuti love their home, and they prepare it for guests with so much heart—you can truly feel it in every detail. We had a lovely chat with Peter and Tuti on the day of our departure, they are such warm and amiable people. I genuinely believe everyone will enjoy and love this place as much as we did!

A wooden deck features a natural wood dining table and benches, providing a space for outdoor meals. The tranquil yard is surrounded by a wooden fence and has a gravel area, with lush greenery in the background under a clear blue sky.
