Good ocean and mountain view
Certainly not 4 star!
Everything was bad: no reception (self-service check in), no staff, no pool, poor breakfast (you carry a tray upstairs to your room), small bathroom

Fantastic view from our room.
I liked everything.

Breakfast basic but ok. Location ok.
The garden rooms are very basic with little comfort. Traffic noise all night and zero sound proofing so you can hear neighbours conversations.
Mould on bedroom ceiling, worn carpets, rust on appliances, dirty splashes in wall, broken toilet flush, chips on cups and plates. It’s just not very nice and seriously not value for money.
Zero human contact throughout the stay. A piece of paper if stuck to a door telling you where your room is. Do not recommend
4.5
The View! You can not tire from the beautiful outlook form the balcony. Seeing the mountain range plunging into the ocean is remarcable. A bonus was being able to see the village below and its goings on.

Wonderful garden, very quiet, fantastic breakfast

The breakfast was very good. It was a continental style offering. You collected your choices from a comprehensive range in the kitchen. You then took it to your room were there was table and chairs or use the patio table. The manager was on hand to support any requests or issues.
Would have liked to stay in one of the rooms ovelooking the sea but we booked too late for that to happen. The room we were allocate was fine. There was a major road near by but through careful design the room was affected too badly by the noise.
4.5
The view from our room was gorgeous! The employee we met was very nice and smiling. Great breakfast and really great coffee. A place we felt so good to be. We would be very happy to go back!
4.5
Great location, beautiful views.
I cannot stress how lovely the staff were. We had to leave early before breakfast and they were so accommodating, they let us into the kitchen to help ourselves to anything we wanted. The breakfast is sooo much nicer than a continental breakfast, they really go out of their way here. Thank you!
Only minor hiccup was that they took my payment in the kitchen when I saw them, which was fine, but then there was a breakdown in communication and my card was also charged after we checked out. It was all sorted a few days later but was a little stressful in the mean time
4.5
There was a great selection of foods for breakfast.
Entering the Lemon Tree was a delight. Little cabins named for flowers in a beautiful, tranquil garden.
It would have been nice to meet the owners but the member of staff I did meet was very pleasant.
Only real drawback was the proximity to SH1
4.5
Incredible location with stunning views of the ocean and the mountains, snow capped for our visit. The best sun rises, and moon rises ever. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, and the railway station/whale watch check in. More importantly just a short stroll to the Slam Club, which is the best meal we have had in NZ. Helpful friendly staff who set up a great continental breakfast choice each day. The property gardens are beautiful too.
Our room could have benefitted from some more subtle lighting.

Our stay in the Pineapple-Lilly Ocean View Room was superb! I image this lodge is at the highest point in Kaikoura and therefore offers stunning views - we were fortunate enough to watch an early morning large pod of dolphins playing in the water from our balcony. Our room was fabulous, large, comfortable and clean with a view to die for. The staff are amazing and the breakfast is exceptional and love that you take it to your room to enjoy. The location is a short walk to the restaurants and main town but remains peaceful and tranquil.

Everything. Loved this place.
Would have been good if someone greeted you on arrival.
4.5
excellent location, view was spectacular.
4.5
Upgrading from a Garden view to a Sea view was the best £5 I ever spent - wonderful view for breakfast.
Wasn't sure about the "get your own breakfast" in the morning, but it was very good. Room was comfortable, and location fine for walking into the town, and for exploring the area generally.
Enjoyed our stay very much.
Seagulls a bit of a pain when breakfasting on the balcony - a heads-up about that would have been helpful.
The stair to the upper floor was a bit tight for lugging up a 23kg suitcase.
4.5
Convenient, Straight forward process, Comfortable.
Couldn’t make the coffee machine work. That’s all.

Unparalleled view

Location, comfortable bed, good space in our suite and good choice at breakfast
Not seeing any staff....unusual to have no personal contact ( not that we needed anything but it would have been nice)
4.5
location!!! deck overlooking the ocean, staff and great breakfast
loved everything
4.5
Be careful when booking. I booked because it overlooked the sea. It does but there are 2 separate units with “garden view” not attached to the Lodge that are in the back yard. oh, well….
4.5
We received such a warm welcome from the duty manager, Lucia. The location was incredible, close to everything you could need. The hospitality delivered here was 10 out of 10, so accomodating, going above and beyond to provide exceptional service.
4.5
breakfast buffet and the ability to have this privately in the garden. Bed was comfortable and the shower pressure great. short easy walk to the town centre for restaurants
garden suite was very noisy as it backed onto a main road bend eased off about 2am but started again at 5am. I’m sure the sea view suites are quieter, but if you are a light sleeper DO NOT choose either of the garden suites. the room needs soundproofing to the rear which would really help.
4.5
The views are gorgeous and the breakfast was nice.
4.5
Really comfortable, clean, great breakfast, beautiful garden
4.5
The location was ideal and the views from my room were amazing!! I really enjoyed eating breakfast each morning looking at the amazing views!
Nothing! I ask for a hairdryer as there wasn’t any in my room and the staff went above and beyond sourcing me one
4.5
Comfy and relaxing place. Close to center.
4.5
Amazing view and lovely staff, very well maintained property!
4.5
The location is great and if you're not staying in a room with a balcony you are allowed the use of the deck which offers stunning views accross the area.
Top of the range price for really average accommodation. The breakfast which was included was particularly poor.
4.5
A very comfortable room with amazing views over Kaikoura town and bay. Great location and and easy walk to the shops & restaurants. Close to the Whale Watching office. Nice to have breakfast brought up each morning.
