Beautifully located property with incredible views. Welcoming environment. Easy walk to the town and coast. Very much enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay. Great B&b. Very central. Looking forward to our next stay with you.
We could not have asked for better accomadations. Bendamere House was top on our list in our 4 weeks of travel in New Zealand. We only wish we had stayed longer. From the warm greeting by Julie to her lovely breakfast and lively conversation, plus recommendations for restaurants and activities, she was an excellent hostess. The view of the beach and mountains from our 2nd floor balcony was all we needed to relax and soak up the Kaikoura vibes. A bonus was the HOP and seeing all of the classic cars. Thank you for a fabulous stay. John and Karen Murray Florida USA
Absolutely amazing way to end a special South Island trip by staying at Bendamere and being hosted by julie. Excellent facilities and even better service and friendly hospitality. The views from the room and grounds were world class - hard to beat the Kaikoura's on a good day. Will definitely make this a stop on our next trip through Kaikoura. Well done Julie and Kerry - fabulous. Highly recommended. Colin & Lenie.
What a delightful place too stay. Apartment very comfortable with amazing sea views. Hosts very friendly and very informative about local eateries etc. Little touches like homemade biscuits in room and the very yummy breakfast much appreciated
An amazing comfortable warm setup, with welcoming hosts- Julie and Kerry are so proud of Kaikoura, so helpful. The view over the beach and sea to the mountains is picture book. Bendamere is a short walk down the hill to the town with its cafes/bars/restaurants, and 5 minutes drive to see the seals, and have lunch or dinner at the old Pier Hotel where the seafood is great.
Julie and Kerry put on a great breakfast, and do try the special croissants. The room has everything, very comfortable bed, great shower, and warm. Easy to find.
Highly recommended.

Great Location
"Great location with a million dollar view overlooking the ocean. Well-appointed room, spotlessly clean and fast Wi-Fi. The host, Julie, made us feel at home and added some nice touches with daily home made shortbread and muffins. The breakfast is typical continental fare, cereals, yogurt, croissants, jams etc. Easy 5 minute walk into town. We would definitely stay here again".
Sincerely, Len
Stunning views and close to the centre of town...
"We stayed here for 2 nights for the Whale Watching. The rooms are comfortable offered a very good breakfast. Our Host Julie was so helpful with local tips particularly about the local roads which have suffered from last year’s earthquake. As we had an early start, she kindly arranged for us to have breakfast in our rooms before we left. It has stunning views that take your breath away".
Spectacular view and the best shortbread ever!
"The beautiful front garden sets the tone for this warm, welcoming place. But the back garden is even better with a spectacular view of the Kaikoura Bay. Every room has this beautiful view. It’s a 10 minute walk down to the heart of town and the beach".
