Stayed here 1 night as part of our New Zealand trip organised by Trailfinders. We had a whale watching trip booked.  It is situated a little way out of Kaikoura, and the rooms look out onto the golf course and the ocean beyond. As such it was very quiet. Parking was next to the accommodation building with a corridor between the car park and the room. It is a short drive into Kaikoura. There was a bar in the reception area. Breakfast in the room was included with our booking and was perfectly ok.  I would be happy to stay here again if I was in the area.

Lovely quiet place to stay with nice views and convenient for Kaikoura whale watching

We checked-in at resort's bar what is reception as well. It was very welcoming  in so relaxing environment with a lot of comfortable seating inside and outside. 
Bar offers good coffee, refreshment and snacks what is very convenient. There is excellent  golf  pro shop  as well.  
In spite being earlier than official check-in time  they let as in, as our room was ready.   The room was clean and specious with amazing  view. Bathroom was accessible for wheelchair users ( we didn't need it or asked for) and was very nicely fitted- not sure if all rooms are with the same bathroom category. 
Receptionist book  dinner for us  in the town as we express our interest in testing  famous local crayfish. 
Highlight of  ours stay is playing golf that exceeded our expectation. It is 9 holes course but most of the holes are between 300 and 400 m and course is in excellent conditions. There are golf equipment  and electric golf cart for hire and  free trundles.
After checking out we wanted to play another round and owner of the resort was very kind and told that we can enjoy playing as long as we want without any charge.
All together very highly recommended venue with excellent service.

Great lodge and golfing

What a great surprise.  This place was fantastic.  The staff were welcoming and the room was fantastic.  Great curtains which covers out the total light which is great if you need a sleep in.  When you draw back the curtains, the sun blazes in to room allowing you a view over the go,f course down to the coast.  The golf course was included in the price and it was fun and challenging.

Great place just out of Kaikoura

My husband and I decided to take a last minute trip away for the night and decided on Kaikoura-next step was to find a place to stay and boy did we get lucky. We knew that the place was a bit out of town however we are only talking a 10-minute drive, and what a view just under the mountains and facing the sea-absolute heaven. 

We were warmly greeted by Jen and Warren when we arrived and they explained how things work. We were heading out for dinner so didn’t spend much time at the lodge but got to see it in its full glory the next morning when we played a round of nine holes.  Absolutely breath taking views and a lovely course. Honestly such an amazing place and Warren and Jen are great hosts-warm, friendly and laid back. 

A slice of heaven

Loved the location with expansive views of the bay and the fact you can play as much golf as you like. Also close to the Kaikoura bike trail which we will explore from here next time. 
We stayed in the new wing which was spacious with great amenities.
Would be great to have somewhere outside the room where you can clean and store  your shoes after playing golf.
We will definitely book here on our next visit.

Fabulous location and views

We came across Koura Bay Lodge online and as the location and price were on point we went ahead and booked. What a great spot! Gorgeous views across the golf course towards the sea and township. Room was really comfortable and quiet. Loved the Ashley and Co products too!

Secluded, quiet and great views

Due to my 93 year old father being ill I had to cancel the booking.  Warren said if they sold the room they would deduct 10 - 15% of the room fee out of my visa account.  When I rang him the next day to see if the room had been booked, he said yes it had been booked but now he would be charging more than 15% , it would be more like 30%.   After that he has deducted the full amount from my visa and to date 1  month later no money has been refunded. We have sent correspondence to him and no reply.  To my mind Warren has sold the room twice and he had no empathy about my sick father .  
I do not recommend this establishment. 

no empathy from this hotel

A nice place to stay. Great Golf. Lovely comfortable bed and liked the bathroom amenities. Happy to have breakfast in the room as the dining area not open possibly because of the current restrictions. However, the rooms are not really equipped for making breakfast. Here is a photo of a recent breakfast provided in the area. The cost of only $10 more than the tariff at Koura Bay Lodge.

Great Course

Almost a perfect stay. Wish we could've brought the dog but other than that we loved the aura of the resort. The water was unfortunately a bit too plain. Nothing special about the taste but also nothing wrong with it so overall 6/10. Bath is too small for 3 or more. On the other hand the shower pressure is amazing, hit the nail on the head with that one. Would stay here again, thanks for a great weekend.

Bubble bath gone wrong

A large well appointed room overlooking the 9 hole golf course, across farmland and native bush out to sea, with chairs on the verandah was a stunning start to our holiday. A very comfortable bed and good shower pressure was perfect after a round of golf (included in price).  Would recommend and we look forward to coming back. Hope business picks up and someone wants to start the kitchen up again as dining/lounge room views are stunning
