Lemon Tree Lodge

Amazing view from the room over the half-moon bay to the Seaward Kaikōura Range. The location and view exceeded even the most dramatic pictures we had seem of Kaikōura, its enchanting pensinula and how it nestles between mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

We had a room on the ocean side, on the ground floor, with a patio. The view was spectacular.

Great views easy location. Cosy and homey. Great outdoor deck areas overlooking the views.

Needed a bit of work on things like the electrical outlets which tripped a circuit and had a six appliance adapter running toaster, kettle, etc etc. Assistance from managers was very quick but a point for them to think about.

Beautiful surroundings

Lovely spot within walking distance of the town.

Excellent view from our room, a little bit dated but nice location

Absolutely beautiful space, gorgeous view, amazing breakfast. Beautiful hosts.

The good: the view, the location, the small garden and room position (we were in Poppy Flower) The average: breakfast was good but a little unusual loading up a tray and taking back to room, room facilities were average and feeling worn and tired. No welcome or interaction from the owners or staff and no nice extra touches, strange for a B&B The poor: mice or rats in the ceiling and walls were noisy through the night and kept us awake for most of the night (reported to the owner), windows are old, wind comes straight through them making the roller blinds noisy at night, double glazing glass is fogged which impacts the view! Overall, we were very disappointed for the price paid. Our NZ trip had 18 different stays (some twice this price, some less than half), this stay was the one the fell well short of our expectations and hence we felt it was too expensive all things considered, the view being the only saving feature.
