Overall Ratings & Reviews Bendamere House Bed & Breakfast

The Bendamere is a top-notch bed and breakfast. From the friendly greeting to the incredible views of the Kaikoura Coast to the excellent amenities to the comfortable room and bed, The Bendamere surpasses expectations!

Wow. What a lovely spot. Hard to imagine there could be a better place to stay in Kaikōura. A perfect location walkable to lots of shopping, dining, and the beach and with gorgeous views from the rooms and the outdoor spaces on the property. Room was very clean, well equipped and spacious. Breakfast was included and was generous and tasty. Hostess had helpful suggestions for our stay. Highly recommend.

We loved the fact we could watch the amazing sunrise this morning from our room. The breakfast was great and so was the company at breakfast, the other guests.

This is an absolutely excellent property in every way possible. From the immaculate room to pristine property, not to forget the short bread cookies :-). The views are spectacular from the second floor units. Simply marvelous.

Great property with a great view of the ocean. Hostess was very friendly and provided a yummy breakfast. Room was comfortable with patio to sit and enjoy the view! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Lovely place. Lovely people.

Beautiful property with a lovely yard and spectacular views!. Room and property very clean and hostess is wonderful and most helpful. She even dropped what she was doing and gave us a ride to the train station when our taxi failed to show up. Breakfast high quality. It is a bit of a walk to get to restaurants--we enjoyed the stroll, but it could be a problem if one is mobility challenged and there without a car. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in Kaikoura.

Excellent stay. Very welcoming. Spacious, clean, with excellent views of the ocean.

Julie the host was so accomidating. The roomschad spectacular views of the beach and mountains. Fantastic place

A wonderful stay with great views from our balcony only a few minutes walk to the town.Croissants for breakfast too. Welcoming hosts.

Just loved our stay at Bendamere. Julie is a fantastic host. Superb communication. The shower is so good especially after finishing the Kaikoura cycle trial (thoroughly recommend). Very comfortable bed and finishing touches like the home made shortbread were appreciated. Stylist decor. However the best part of this stay is the scene, waking up to a beautiful sunrise ( keep the curtains open) or sitting on the balcony enjoying the bay and sea waves. Very quiet considering how close to the road this property is. Thoroughly recommend staying here

Lovely host, great view property.

Loved the property. The views are spectacular and the buildings and amenities relaxing. Very clean, thoughtfully catered, fabulous host. Definitely one to revisit

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The accommodations and property were impeccable and the view of the bay - breathtaking. Julie met us when we arrived and made us feel welcome and comfortable. from the start. Breakfast in the morning in the dining room was delicious with fresh juice, coffee and breakfast croissants made to order. I did not want to leave. 10 stars!
