Well appointment and well kept hotel, we found the check in staff pleasant but rather brisk, we asked for a room with a view (ie: the sea), were told “you’re allocated a side room so you have a view of the mountains” (in reality a road and a car park with mountains in the far far distance. No attempt to accommodate our request whatsoever. She then tried to sell us dinner at the hotel.
The room was modern and comfortable, but lacked so much. No coffee maker, no mirror except one in the bathroom, no water (basic), no amenity kits, - just the room with a bed in it, a comfortable bed it must be said.
At such a high price for the room, I frankly expected more.
We have just arrived at another Sudima hotel which was less than two thirds of the price and has everything the Kaikoura property lacks.
In my opinion, unlike the hotel we’re in now, Sudima Kaikoura was not worth the money.

New hotel with modern decor located on the beach with views from the upper floors. Unfortunately the downside to my stay was being allocated a room next to the lifts (noise) despite the hotel being almost empty (winter).

The location of the Sudima is great, amazing views of the water. Facilities beautiful, very clean and tidy. The staff there a fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the room has no windows that opened which for us felt a little claustrophobic, we asked the staff if there was anyway we could change to a different room and they could not be more helpful. Within minutes we had a room with a sliding door onto a balcony which was amazing with beautiful views across the water and a spectacular sunrise. Will 💯 stay again and definitely recommend to anybody

Good clean, new room.
Con: buffet breakfast too expensive
$35 for adult and $20 per child. Family of four would cost $110 for just a breakfast.
Need another mirror and rubbish bin in the room.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The staff provided understated excellence in all aspects of service. The food & bar service was terrific. And the bed was the most comfortable I have experienced in a long time. I loved the use of Te Reo Maori around the hotel for signage. My only suggestion would be to separate the restaurant side off from the bar side of Hiku - as we didn’t want to spend my birthday dinner listening to rugby. And please teach all bar staff to make all the cocktails on your menu. I had wanted to try two, but the staff member didn’t know how to make one of them. I’ll definitely be back - hopefully in summer so I can try the pool.

I liked the hotel was across from the beach, and the beds were comfortable. The room service was terrible, and the windows were completely filthy with hand prints on the inside of the windows.
We had to call for ice three times and it still didn’t arrive.
Friendly front reception. Room service dinner was okay. Steak was over done.

We loved staying here whilst visiting Kaikoura for the night. Great location across from the beach, with lovely sea views from the balcony. The inhouse bar and restaurant were terrific also. highly recommend.

The property is clean, tidy and great! Staff are friendly and nice. It’s just opposite the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and the heated pool! The only thing I would say is the edges of the stairs in pool is quite sharp and we did get some small cuts. Otherwise, we love our stay!!

Adequate room. Bed a little soft for our old backs. Rainfall shower head leaked even when control was turned all the way to wand. Breakfast buffet okay but plentiful; however only limited a la carte order selections were available for the weekend days. What made this a 4 star ecperience was the rectification of a booking error that had only one person per room, when there were two couples. At first, we were told that our chosen breakfast option would only cover one person, even though two couples were allowed to check-in, and the room price with breakfast was the same whether there were one or two occupants (checked on hotel web site for a booking a couple of days later). Management made the right customer service call by allowing breakfast for all four persons.

The hotel is modern and well equipped. The room was large and comfortable. However, the staff person we spoke with was not very knowledgeable or helpful.

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location.
My only complaint is there are no bins around the hotel inside or out, as a smoker this was an issue as I had nowhere to put my butts, without walking down the road.
