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 #### Edith Feb 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property with amazing gardens. ##### Edith Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### WAN MAS UD BIN MOHD Aug 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The host Jen made us feel like we are welcomed into someone’s home, rather than just a generic motel room. ##### WAN MAS UD BIN MOHD Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christophe Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities ´ ##### christophe Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harryl Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Such a restful environment!
