Very clean and tidy and located in a nice area 5km out of Kaikoura. Good views from the mountain view room.
The rooms were designed with the disabled in mind, commendable, but it felt very clinical, particularly the…

NZ motel showers.
We have stayed here before and love the big rooms and the scenery. It has made us come back again.

We had the whole place to ourselves and it was very well equipped. Plus we enjoyed the table tennis table!

Établissement avec une certaine qualité mais le petit déjeuner gâche tout

Slaapkamer, badkamer prima. Uitzicht geweldig!

Questions about Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast

What time is check-in and check-out at Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Kakatu Retreat Bed & Breakfast?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
