![Small but beautiful town. Tons to do. Sadly my seal encounter got cancelled due to weather, but my dolphin encounter was the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.

When I get back to NZ (hopefully one day), I'll definitely be doing all 3 and spending more time here! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635975863478/6c39d23f-b6cd-426b-ad9e-2bb03f662b29.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)

### Kaikoura Quality Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had an enjoyable stay in room 21 which faces east so had breakfast on the balcony invthe morning sun. The room was spacious and well appointed. The bathroom had a heated towel rail and underfloor heating. The king size bed was soft so ideal if thats your preference. Cooking is in a microwave , otherwise youre dining out or at the bbq provided in the outdoor area at the back of the property. A relaxed and helpful host added to the pleasant nature of the stay."
