The location of the Sudima is great, amazing views of the water. Facilities beautiful, very clean and tidy. The staff there a fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the room has no windows that opened which for us felt a little claustrophobic, we asked the staff if there was anyway we could change to a different room and they could not be more helpful. Within minutes we had a room with a sliding door onto a balcony which was amazing with beautiful views across the water and a spectacular sunrise. Will 💯 stay again and definitely recommend to anybody

Family trip to Kaikoura
Good clean, new room. Con: buffet breakfast too expensive $35 for adult and $20 per child. Family of four would cost $110 for just a breakfast. Need another mirror and rubbish bin in the room.

Ask for a north-facing room for sun and a view
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The staff provided understated excellence in all aspects of service. The food & bar service was terrific. And the bed was the most comfortable I have experienced in a long time. I loved the use of Te Reo Maori around the hotel for signage. My only suggestion would be to separate the restaurant side off from the bar side of Hiku - as we didn’t want to spend my birthday dinner listening to rugby. And please teach all bar staff to make all the cocktails on your menu. I had wanted to try two, but the staff member didn’t know how to make one of them. I’ll definitely be back - hopefully in summer so I can try the pool.
