We did not get a very good room to see the ocean even though we booked 2 of them. Staff is nice except for one lady at the restaurant who may unpleasant. She may just have issues unrelated to us.

The check in process was smooth with concierge actively helping with bags and finding what you needed. Rooms were clean and adjoining. We ate at the restaurant and it was fine for happy hour drinks and small plates. The pool was heated (but still not very warm). The location was nice and it was the best of the lodgings during our month-long travels.

Great hotel, clean, modern, parking available and comfy beds. Staff friendly. The restaurant gets very busy worth booking ahead. Seafood fettuccine was disappointing- no real flavour and not that tasty. Calamari was excellent. Kids choices sufficient and they provide complimentary drawing activities.

Our 3-night stay at Sudima Kaikoura was initially off to a rocky start. We had earlier informed the hotel that we would be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary but there were no special arrangements made. As we settled in to wind down for the night, we were disappointed that the in-room TV was faulty. Duty Manager Adil personally came to try to rectify the issue. Upon finding it unfixable without further disturbing our rest, he offered us a new room with an ocean view. Adil also saw to our requests with speed, initiative and demonstrated professional excellence when he greeted me by name. We are grateful that Adil repeatedly went the extra mile for us. As such, we will reminisce our stay at Sudima Kaikoura with fondness.
