Stayed here with my partner in Jan 2012 for the night before we joined the whale watch trip the next day. The apartment was perfect and we were extremely well looked after by the manager. The apartment was immaculate and great location. Absolutely loved it! Many thanks M&C More

I can't rate The Fairways high enough - it's nice and new, the beds were soooo comfortable, blackout curtains and no noise whatsoever - I haven't slept that well for a long time! The surroundings are peaceful, Stephan was very helpful and friendly and above all it was great value for money. Highly recommended!! More

For our honeymoon this year my husband and I travelled from the UK to Singapore, Hong Kong, Fiji and the whole South Island of New Zealand. Needless to say that we stayed in a LOT of hotels. The Fairways in Kaikoura, was our absolute favourite of our whole trip and we were so disappointed to have to leave and wished... More

As we only needed one night we opted for the studio room. This was a good size and beautifully furnished. A fantastic walk in shower (I hate those showers in the bath) and comfortable bed. Wi fi included. Breakfast was not available early enough but was very reasonable. This is a great place to stay if you don't mind the... More

A one night stay in studio was arranged here for us by our travel agent - a studio was booked, but on looking wished we'd gone for an apartment - these look stunning. The studio however is quite small - effectively looks to be a supplimentary room for an apartment with connecting door locked. The room is comfortable - though... More

We stayed here recently on a tour of the south island with our two children. Very clean and modern, full kitchen, two bathrooms, gas fireplace. We had a great breakfast included in our nights stay, all organic and locally produced. One of the best places we stayed, would highly recommend. More

Nice, spacious and clean apartment, providing basic essentials. The fireplace is a lovely touch and great for the cold winter. Only reason haven't given 5 stars is the lack of food, but Stephan made some great recommendations especially for breakfast. More

Thanks for review. We are not sure about the comment about lack of food? We have a full room service menu in the compendiums, including cooked and continental breakfasts that are deleivered to your room. Given that all Kaikoura's Restaraunts are within a 5km radius of the Fairways or a $8 shuttle fare there are many options to chose from,... More
