Guest Reviews

• Thomas (10/5): Superb - Amazing view. Clean. Great facilities. 100% worth every penny!
• Margaret (10/5): - Totally amazing view Outdoor heater was a nice touch Beautiful small home Outdoor bath was amazing too! None
• Candace (10/5): Peaceful Slice of Heaven - Location, modern architecture and clean design and PARKING!! Heaters inside and out, the tv set was soooo delightful at night. Excellent shower!!!!!! A few minor things that for the premium price I thought should’ve been available: qtips for ears, cream for coffee,
• Katrin Müh. (8/5): Spitzenlage und top für warme Sommertage - Die Lage und der Ausblick sind spektakulär! An sonnigen und warmen Tagen DIE Location mit Außen -Kochen und -Essen. Bei nicht so gutem Wetter ist das ausschließlicher Outdoor-Cooking und Eating leider unangenehm. Es gibt zwar einen Outdoor-Heater, aber der hilft leider nicht viel.
• Marianne Evaline (9/5): Vue formidable - La vue était formidable. Très bien située. Nous avons fait la grande randonnée, peu dur à traverser avec les otaries a 2m, mais magnifique. En rentrant nous avons profité d'un bon bain et fait un petit barbecue. Lit agréable. C'est un peu cher quand même et petit, si non, rien a dire.
• Chris (10/5): - Absolutely amazing from the first communication to the stay , this isn't a place you want to miss . Bed was comfortable fantastic place for a platter and some drinks
• Roger (10/5): Excellent location, great views of the bay. It is a shame that nobody is there to meet you (that personal touch) -
• Josh (10/5): -
• Eric (8/5): - La vue était splendide dans un endroit calme
• Joanne (10/5): Beautifully Designed Cabin Retreat - We had the most wonderful stay at this stunning bijou cabin. Beautifully designed and impeccably thought through, it strikes the perfect balance between style and comfort. Every little detail feels intentional, from the cosy interiors to the clever use of space, making the cabin feel both luxurious and welcoming. The location is nothing short of fabulous. Peaceful, picturesque, and the ideal spot to unwind, it offers the kind of calm you don’t realise you’ve been craving until you’re there. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or exploring the surroundings, the whole experience feels truly special.
• Bethany (10/5): - We had a lovely time. The view was beautiful. The room was gorgoues and clean. It was a close drive to everything. We even walked down into town for a bit of an adventure. The perfect romantic getaway!
• Sam (10/5): Speechless - Penny was amazing at communicating! The place is spotless and kitted out incredibly! Absolute incredible views and best place to relax Bath is in a incredible spot to enjoy the view Every small detail has been thought of and has been made to be luxury
• Bec (10/5): - The place is absolute stunning. And would highly recommend it to anyone. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful. 10/10 experience.
• Sophie (10/5): Stunning spot in Kaikoura - a must stay! - Beautiful, private location, but still close to everything. The views are incredible and the bath was perfect! Nothing, it was great!
• Rae (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Wunderschöner Platz zum Verweilen, schade, dass die Cabin nur für einen Tag zur Verfügung stand, wir wären gerne länger - Perfekte Lage mit wunderschöner Aussicht, gut platzierte Outdoorküche für ein entspanntes Frühstück, die Unterkunft war sehr sauber
• Gilly (10/5): -
• Saria (10/5): -
• Davison Steen (10/5): - Location. Views. Facilities, cleanliness Very compact but very comfortable
• Nicholas (10/5): A cleverly designed cliff top cabin, with everything you need and views to die for - It is a very clever use of space, exquisitely finished in a spectacular setting. The views are breathtaking and the owners, Penny and Seth couldn’t have been more welcoming. They turned on the lights for us as we were arriving late, so we wouldn’t have to fumble around in the dark. We will hopefully return. Nothing
• Renate (10/5): - Wunderschön gelegen mit einer traumhaften Aussicht, sehr schönes und super eingerichtes Cabin n, sehr freundliche Vermieter. Absolut empfehlenswert. Nichts
• Marie (10/5): Magnifique vue - La vue était incroyable. La cuisine extérieure était très agréable. Rien
• Joe (10/5): -
• Ole (10/5): Fantastisk sted og fuldstændig fanrastisk udsigt - Udsigten er helt forrygende Ikke noget jeg ikke kunne lide, men det er ikke stort.
• Camilla (10/5): Absolutely fabulous - Our stay was phenomenal, better than the pictures, we will definitely be back.
• Tania (10/5): Stunning architecture and priceless views- a gorgeous spot to feel grateful for this beautiful country. - Exceptional architecture and priceless views. Furnishings were beautiful and the outdoor bath was a wonderful way to welcome the day. Absolutely nothing. It was the best place we’ve stayed and we haven’t stopped talking about it.
• Yvonne (10/5): That VIEW!!!! - WOW, THE VIEW! We have stayed in a lot of beautiful places around the world but that view has got to be one of the best! An extremely lovely couple own and run the place right next door and are the perfect hosts. The place was extremely well maintained, clean, and is a perfect romantic and quaint getaway for a couple..and did I mention the amazing view?! Great price point as well. All the cabins are amazing and private with greenery separation but I would recommend the cabin on the far left side if you want total quietness.
• Matt (10/5): Cozy hilltop cabin with amazing views over Kaikoura - The view was amazing. The room was small but everything was new and very comfortable. Lots of nice features like heated towel rail, outdoor heater, AC and coffee machine.
• Séverine (10/5): - Logement juste parfait avec une vue à couper le souffle ! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce petit coin de paradis.
• Stephanie (10/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): Amazing views with everything you need - Stunning views, clean and tiny, the cabin had everything we needed to cook dinner and have breakfasts in the morning
• Ann (10/5): Beautiful quiet little cabin with amazing views - Everything was 1st class - amazing views, quiet, private & well equipped. Nothing
• Leona (10/5): The view was magic! The attention to detail was fantastic, we loved it. - The cabin was thoughtfully set out, extremely tidy. Probably if I had to pick a negative, it was the storage. But honestly we managed
• chen (9/5): The minute that we walked in and see the view worth everything - location is perfect. Just 8 mins drive from town center. The view is fabulous, facing the sea and mountains. Bathroom is a little bit small, especially the wash sink.
• Rachael (10/5): - This is easily the most beautiful accommodation we have experienced! The photos don’t even do it justice! We wished we stayed longer. We chose to go to the shops and cook our own dinner in the cabins to enjoy the view and facilities even longer. Absolutely beautiful place!!!
• Hannah (10/5): We had an amazing time at Clifftop cabins, we did not want to leave! It's the perfect little set up for a romantic t - The view was amazing, outdoor bath in the perfect spot and everything about the layout was perfect. Shower pressure wasn't the greatest but they are on a water tank. Also couldn't get any of the free tv channels to work on the tv.
• Hunter (8/5): Lovely relaxing stay with magnificent views - Everything Nothing
• Olivia (10/5): - Location and views were incredible, the property was setup beautifully, a lovely relaxing spot. We will definitely be back!
• Walter Savage (10/5): - The location is fantastic. The cabin has been well designed, the fit out and attention to detail are top notch Everything was spot on
• richard (10/5): Perfect in almost every respect. - The views and location. The design and finish of the premises. It was cosy, a small amount of extra space for suitcases would be good , but not a problem in warmer months as you can spill outside under cover.
• Shelley (10/5): -
• Kirsten (10/5): An amazing place to stay. - We absolutely loved our stay! This was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend getaway! We can’t wait to stay again!
• Emma (10/5): Once in a lifetime view to wake up to, beautiful cabins to stay in. - This property is genuinely amazing, my only regret was not staying longer. The views from the cabins is breathtaking, and the cabins themselves are beautiful, great outdoor area, kitchen and bathroom and perfectly clean and tidy. You cannot beat waking up and seeing a view of the ocean. Penny was warm, friendly and really organised, a pleasure to deal with and the whole check in and out process was seamless. -
• Frances (10/5): Don't think twice- book!! - 11/10! The view is out of this world and it was so easy to stay in and appreciate it from the bed, deck chairs or outdoor bath. The space has been utilised so well, and all the little things have been thought of (coffee machine, board games, bubble bath etc). Bed so comfortable. It was so nice to finish our trip of NZ here and we are dreaming of returning in the future. What a special gem - thanks for having us!
• Krzysztof (10/5): Can’t wait to return! - Absolutely magical stay! The views are truly the best we’ve ever experienced - breathtaking sunrises and endless sky. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed. The outdoor bath with panoramic views - pure bliss. Communication with the owner was smooth and warm, making the whole experience even more special.

• Allison (10/5): Stunning views with modern and clean accommodation. - Our stay in at this property Kaikoura was the perfect way to end our New Zealand trip.

• Akbar (10/5): DREAMY VIEW, SUPERB LOCATION AND HIGH QUALITY - LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Lots of nice touches in the cabin and big parking space. Hosts very prompt with replies and help. A bit pricey but for one night , why not? All good.
• Dmsxo (10/5): Fantastical place. Everything was super top quality. These guys know their stuff -
• Sanjay (9/5): Would love to be back again with friends! - The view is breathtaking.
• Durbin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheryl (10/5): Absolutely stunning 🤩 - Fabulous property in a stunning location. Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. Could watch the views for hours. Highly recommend 💯 Nothing, it was fantastic
• Trine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lorraine (8/5): Great view but if you can’t use the outside cause of the weather it’s a bit disappointing - Location was amazing Not the fault of the property but as the weather was inclement during summer time the out door kitchen was not ideal
• Katelin (10/5): Beautiful and must stay! - Beautiful view and so clean! Has everything you’d need!
• Georgia (10/5): Exceptional - Great views and facilities
• Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
• C (10/5): Highly recommend! - Spectacular view and efficient/lovely cabin. Nothing
• Lenore (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julie (10/5): Amazing location and beautiful cabin with thoughtful touches to make the stay one to remember - The location was outstanding and everything was immaculately clean Nothing
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely everything was incredible…. Views, privacy, quiet, the space so well thought out. We will absolutely be back to stay
• Ruby (10/5): Stunning stay in Kaikōura - Everything was great. Views were fantastic. Bed was super comfy. Nice shower and amenities. Clean. Had all the cooking facilities you could need (except oven), though we ate in town. Bathtub was ok but because it rained overnight we had to wash it a bit before use in the morning, and the water cooled very quickly in the tub (not much that could be done). Checkout is 11am so you have time to enjoy the property (though would recommend booking at least two nights if you can). Right next to a lookout point for stargazing (or you could stargaze from the accomm). This was a splurge for us personally, however at 350 NZD, for what you get it was absolutely fantastic value. We regretted only booking for one night (though couldn’t have booked longer even if we had wanted, due to availability). If you are considering booking, I would encourage you to go ahead, it was amazing. I would definitely recommend to all my friends/family. We would love to come back! Our water in the shower was more lukewarm/cool than hot when we were leaving, but we likely used up the hot water with the bath tub (not a big issue).
• D (10/5): And experience we won’t forget - The views were breathtaking and the cabins were immaculate! Could not fault one thing! It was perfect
• Jo (10/5): Amazing! - Amazing views and the outdoor bathub 👍👍👍! Everything you need is here. Highly recom for couples! What a romantic place to be!
• Teresita (8/5): Very good - Like the view and was nice and quiet pod coffee machine wasn't working
• Sharyn (10/5): View was mesmerising, so much so we hardly left the accommodation everything was well thought about - Outdoor deck and bath were positioned perfectly to take advantage of the awesome view Happy with everything as you knew what you were getting via the website pictures and description
