Book a Ferniehurst Cottage

"From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and felt at home. We had comfortable accommodation with a wonderful view of the mountains. I would highly recommend staying here. "

"A most enjoyable stay, no negative comments"

"Good location. Great view. Pretty hotel and courtyard. Friendly staff. "

"New management. Extremely helpful and friendly. I did stay here in December 2025, but found it a much better experience overall this time around. Excellent location. Very good value for money. Would definitely book here again if/when visiting Kaikōura."

"Wonderful place to stay in the sea front. Lovely and quiet, comfortable bed! Not quite 5* but for the price it was excellent "

"Very friendly welcome. Room was clean and comfortable. There are no shops or eating places close to the hotel but if you have a car or don't mind walking along the beautiful shore line, that is not a problem."

"Convenient. Clean. Quiet."

"Great property in the quieter end of town. Excellent facilities. Opposite the beach. Parking to hand. Highly recommended. Note the check in details from Expedia are not quite correct. check-in is 2-6pm and reception reopens at 2. Expedia says reception is only open until 10am. The email I received the night before from the property regarding check in went to junk mail. "

"Perfect location if you’re doing an early dolphin or albatross tour—literally right across the street, so you can just walk over in minutes. Super convenient and stress-free for early starts. Great choice if wildlife tours are your priority. "
