An historic hotel with modern amenities, The Pier Hotel was first built in circa 1885. This cozy seaside hotel still retains the appearance, charm and atmosphere of yesteryear – but houses all the mod cons of today! A thorough refurbishment complements the old with the new.

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 . Come and see for yourself.

Welcome to The Pier Hotel, sited on the waterfront at Kaikoura, in New Zealand’s South Island. Come and visit Kaikoura’s classic ‘Kiwi’ pub, iconic nineteenth century character hotel guesthouse and restaurant – famous for the freshest seafood and Kaikoura crayfish.
