    slight noise

    A welcoming seaside oasis

    Waking up to the gentle sound of waves and the aroma of fresh coffee was heavenly. Jane and Russell were genuinely kind, ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay.

    The only downside was a slight echoing from the hallway, which sometimes disturbed the peaceful silence we cherished during the night.

    This was just a balanced option for a short stay in Kaikoura with fantastic value for money. We enjoyed having breakfast with one of the best sea views I've ever experienced. If you get the chance, definitely check out the local seafood markets nearby.

    The apartment exceeded expectations with its immaculate presentation and stunning sea views that provided a serene backdrop throughout the stay. Each morning brought delightful breakfast surprises, enhancing the overall experience. While the location offered tranquility, the nearby town center was just a short and pleasant walk away. However, some minor noise disruptions were noticeable, impacting the peaceful atmosphere occasionally. This property truly shines due to the attentive hosts who ensured every detail was meticulously attended to, making for a memorable visit.

    personal touch
    delightful breakfast
    minor noise
    slight echoing

    The setting at Shearwater Apartments blew me away. The views of the sea from the patio made every morning special. The apartment was well-decorated and immaculate. I appreciated the extra touches like snacks, wine, and a delightful breakfast that enhanced my stay. However, I did find some noise from the hallway at night, which could disturb the tranquility. Even with that minor inconvenience, the level of service and thoughtfulness made it a memorable visit.

    Staying at Shearwater Apartments was a delightful experience! The apartment had a cozy living area with stunning sea views that we enjoyed every morning. Jane, our host, was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to book our restaurant reservations. The added touches, like snacks and wine, made us feel really special.

    Nothing significant to mention.

    gorgeous sunset

    The apartment was immaculate, with a stunning view right from the patio. Had such a lovely stay! Oh, and the extra touches were delightful—definitely not your average place!

    Only trouble? The sunset was too gorgeous, I might have missed dinner! Someone really needs to mute those sunsets.
