Really enjoyed fantastic views.

The location was spectacular and quiet, by the sea...

The friendly staff provided excellent recommendations, the room was spacious with a comfortable bed, and it had great amenities like a big breakfast, coffee/tea facilities, a fridge.

Unique and impeccably clean room, I liked the hotel!

the service was brilliant and the food was great. amicable staff, provided information if needed. location: the hotel was close enough to a long beautiful peaceful beach, the snow capped mountains of the kaikoura range and the ocean.

I truly enjoyed incredible views!

The staff and the host were all amiable. The location was spectacular, just next door to the snow capped mountains, the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand and attractions in Kaikoura.

The breakfasts here feature local ingredients, which is a nice touch. the room is spacious enough to enjoy a big breakfast comfortably. Plus, the hotel's garden location is absolutely perfect and sets a lovely atmosphere 🌿.

The room at Hapuku Carriages Kaikoura was cozy and comfortable, with a seating area where I could relax after a long day. It felt like a home away from home. As a business traveler, this was exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge.

Personally, I found the room service at the property to be a bit lacking. However, I understand that others might still enjoy the convenience it offers.

The hosts were amazing, incredibly detailed restoration, beautiful outdoor bath, homemade breakfast, kiwiana hospitality.

Nothing.

I had a fantastic stay at this unique railway carriage accommodation! The carriage was beautifully fitted out and had everything I needed, including complimentary bubbles and beer in the fridge. The hosts were friendly and provided a delicious breakfast. The location was perfect, very close to a typical surf beach where I enjoyed a lovely evening stroll. The cleanliness and attention to detail were impeccable. a great experience!

Couldn't fault this hotel. It was a perfect stay!

staying at hapuku carriages kaikoura was an amazing experience. the attention to detail, train-themed furniture, and outdoor bathtub were all highlights. the hosts were incredibly kind and even went out of their way to bring us a forgotten jacket. the breakfast was delicious and we couldn't ask for a better stay in kaikoura.

No wifi available.

The place is something special, with a fantastic view of the mountains and a beach just 200m away. I was able to admire the stars while relaxing in the outdoor bathtub. The breakfast was excellent in both variety and quantity. The hosts were very kind and the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

On the first night, I heard a cargo train passing by, as there is a train track nearby. However, it didn't disturb me on the following night.

Loved the open air bath at night, great morning talks, quirky cottage with recycled materials, free wifi and iconic Kiwi movies. The passing trains? Oh, just added to the romantic atmosphere.

Who needs a good night's sleep anyway with those lovely trains passing by?

We were drawn to Hapuku Carriages by its quirky setting, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was much more than just a train carriage. Mike's attention to detail was exceptional, and our custom-made bed provided the best sleep of our entire trip. The breakfast was beyond compare, and the outdoor bath was a brilliant addition. We wish we had planned to stay longer to fully enjoy this unique and comfortable experience.

Quirky and clean carriage, spacious, minutes walk to beautiful beach, impressive mountain views, friendly hosts, delicious breakfast.

We had a fantastic stay at Hapuku Carriages Bed & Breakfast. the breakfast options were delicious, with a variety of cold and cooked choices that satisfied all tastes. the location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the beach, where we could enjoy breathtaking sunrise views. the unique and clean train carriage accommodation provided plenty of space for the two of us. We especially loved the quirky train-themed furniture and the outdoor bathtub. the hosts, Mike and Susie, were incredibly friendly and even went out of their way to bring us a forgotten jacket. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing and memorable experience. Cons: Liked everything! 👍.

The flat-screen TV and DVD player were perfect for our movie nights. And OMG, the beach was so close! We could literally walk there in like 2 minutes. It was the best spot for chilling and playing beach volleyball. Our squad had a blast!

It would have been even better if they had a rockin' sound system for some epic party vibes. That would've taken our vacation to the next level!
