The location to the beach frontage road is very nice. Just walk across the street and you can enjoy the beach and the beautiful sunrise every morning. Quiet with easy access to local breakfast and hotel bars. Highly recommend for the price and amenities.

This place was amazing, we loved it! Lake View, just up the road from everything we need, nice hosts, clean, smelt nice, facilities we could use if we wanted or needed...it was such a little gem I'd go back 100%. The area is also amazing and maybe one of the nest places we have stayed since travelling new zealand.

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.

Amazing property overlooking/right opposite the beach. Room was very clean and classy. Hosts were extremely lovely and friendly. Patrick gave a great suggestion for a restaurant and we were not disappointed. A lovely home made breakfast to finish off.

    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.
