Pier Hotel

The best crayfish in town and they offer different size crays to suit all budgets. Bookings are essential as it is busy from opening to close , every day.

A slightly fancier option to stay in beautiful Kaikoura, very nice place

Arrived without a reservation and they happily managed to find us a table as it is a very busy place and it pays to make a reservation. Had the whitebait in egg fritter which was delicious. Wish i had ordered the large as the small was just not big enough for me. The salad was also tasty and fresh. Really nice quick dinner and beer. Neat interior, great view of sea and mountains until the fog rolled in.

This hotel must have one of the best views in NZ but that isn't all. The food and drinks are great too, plus friendly, efficient service. If you're in Kaikoura, you should make a note for a quality meal here for sure.
