A perfect location, easy to get to and not far out of Kaikōura itself. The accommodation provides a high standard of facilities and is immaculate. It provided everything we need for our stay and the use of the hot tub and do some star gazing is phenomenal - a must if you are staying at Te Mahuru Retreat. Nothing is too much for the host and the breakfast is well catered. We had a very comfortable and relaxing staying, the only thing is we wished we had stayed for longer. You will not be disappointed and would highly recommend this accommodation if you are staying in Kaikoura and the surrounding area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3bb018ad-2ab2-4120-a9b5-179fd5bb5add-1756179225463.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef97d415-d6cb-46d2-952c-586dfcf9fb89-1756179224807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1fce9bab-ae2a-4c9a-9364-223ea22ac631-1756179222995.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b81f3b36-22a0-4a19-a735-2bf9de8b9a31-1756179226752.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Penny Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen Feb 12, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was wonderful!
