The Pier Hotel offers hotel accommodation in Kaikoura in an historic building, built especially for the fishing fleet and whalers at the turn of the 19th century. Some 122 years on...
Our Kaikoura hotel is a classic Kiwi country pub, sited on the waterfront in Kaikoura. Your host, Steve Kirkpatrick, has brought a lifetime's hospitality experience to his refurbishment of this nineteenth-century character guesthouse.
The uniqueness of this Kaikoura icon, apart from the breathtaking views of the Kaikoura Ranges and Ingles Bay, is that it still retains the appearance and charm of yesteryear, even though it has had to endure small facelifts over the years.
It is a true 'kiwiana' pub style residence with modern touches that enhance its comfortablity and ambience. The site is superb and undoubtedly the best outlook in Kaikoura, with panoramic vistas of the Kaikoura Ranges and sweeping views of Ingals' Bay from the bar, balcony and restaurant.
Accommodation at our hotel has recently been upgraded and features new king-size or twin beds, with character shared bathrooms in keeping with the 122-year-old history of the hotel.
Deluxe King Room – New king-size bed, double doors opening onto a north-facing balcony with stunning views of the bay. Hand basin, heater and coffee and tea facilities.
King Room – New king-size beds, pillows and linen. Heater and coffee and tea facilities.
Triple Room – New king-size and one single bed, pillows and linen. Heater and coffee and tea facilities.
Twin Room – Two new single beds. Heater and coffee and tea facilities.
The majority of the rooms have access onto the sunny balcony, where many a breakfast and evening cocktails have been enjoyed to the smell of the sea and sun and views. Sunrise and sunsets are in a word—awesome!
All rooms have new beds, pillows and linen. All guests share bathrooms, dining room and bar facilities.
Continental breakfast provided at no extra charge.
All that Kaikoura has to offer in activities can be done from here via phone, and our courtesy coach is kept busy running guests and diners back and forth to their various destinations.
Year-round the hotel specialises in catering to fishing groups, biker groups, car enthusiasts (including rallies), charters, corporate retreats and specialised events. Murder Mystery weekends are featured during winter.
The hotel also caters to contractors who may need to stay in Kaikoura for work purposes. Cut lunches, set menus etc. are made to suit the budgets available.
The bar in our Kaikoura hotel is cosy and has a fireplace and window benches to enjoy the views from. The walls are adorned with ancient photos of yesteryear all pertaining to the hotel and fishing era of bygone years. The main restaurant has a warm ambience and friendly feel.
The menu changes seasonally to enable diners, both local and visitors, to partake in the freshest produce available. The hotel has a reputation for serving some of the best seafood available and also its aged beef. No wonder this place is rated as one of the best seafood restaurants in the region.
Local fishing boats speckle the bay and on fine mornings many amateur boaties can be seen zipping about trying their luck with fishing and cray pots. Groups of dolphins and orcas can often be seen frolicking in the bay along with a regular lone bull fur seals.

Tucked into the shelter of a peninsula jutting out into the Pacific Ocean, Kaikoura has many water activities to offer. Fur seals lounge on rocks just metres from the shore, dusky and Hector’s dolphins frolic in the sea within sight of town, while only a few kilometres further out, giant sperm whales haunt the depths. The sperm whale can be seen all year round off Kaikoura and is the third largest whale in the world, only beaten by the blue and fin whales.
