Loved that it’s dog friendly but still quality accomodation. We are a family that likes to take our dog everywhere with us but don’t always want to camp. Really comfortable we will definitely stay again when in the area. 😊

During our 2 week trip to NZ, Glenburg was the standout stay for us. Just incredible. The lodge provides a view from the bedroom on the ocean and from the spacious living room (with fire place!) u get a fantastic view of Manakau mountains. Our reason to travel to Kaikoura was obviously whale watching, so if you are interested in doing that but also want to experience comfort, piece and quiet then Glenburn Coastal Retreat will deliver. Amazing.

    The location was fabulous-right on the beach with fabulous views all around. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the bathroom was especially nice.

    Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
