  • Property needs updating. Bathroom was clean, but it was not attached to bedroom - had to walk across hall. Young girl running B&B for the owner was very nice. 3

  • Kia Ora Linda I am sorry if you were disappointed in your stay in my home. I endeavour to keep in clean and comfortable not so concerned with fashionable and there are lots of detailed photos on the website for you to view. There is also a detailed description of what a "private" bathroom means i.e.not in the room but not shared with anyone else. There are 2 ensuite rooms available in the house and each room is priced according to the facilities. The house was not busy during your stay and we would have been happy to upgrade you to another room. All in all I hope you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Kaikoura Kind regards Judy Brook House B&B

  • We only stayed one night, but felt at home as soon as we walked in. Judy is a lovely friendly lady and makes awesome muffins. Breakfast was continental only, which suited us. Had to share the bathroom but that worked out as well. Clean and tidy. Would stay again. 5

  • Although the Brook House is older, it is clean, friendly, spacious, and homey. The private bath was especially nice! 4

  • Brook House is not your typical B&B. It is more like an upmarket backpackers with bonus features! There is a free and easy attitude to guests - come and go as you please- and you can cook for yourself in the nicely appointed kitchen should you wish. Continental Breakfast is included and is left out for you to help yourself. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful and makes you feel very at home, as do her 2 dogs! 4

  • This was a 1 night stopover for us so we didn't spend much. The accommodation was acceptable and breakfast was satisfactory however there were about 10 dead bees on the window-sill above the bed which had us a little nervous while we were going to sleep! The interior is also rather dated. 2
    MEGAN GARRETT - Jan 14, 2013 Travelbug verified review
  • Hi Megan Sorry you problems but they were not bees but kelp flies from the seaweed washed up on the nearby beach. The whole town was having problems for a while. I have reminded my cleaners to check the window sills and it shouldn't happen again. I can assure you we keep the house very clean. Kind regards Judy Brook House B&B

  • Good friendly service. Comfortable bed. Convenient for town and whale watching. First impressions of the exterior were not great but once you get inside it is really nice and rooms at the back have a nice view of the mountains. 4

Our stay was an experience, we accepted and enjoyed the opportunity to socialise with Judy and the other guests in the evening and the morning. We are glad we chose Brook House. 5

  • Comfortable double room with private bathroom in hallway worked well. Hostess very friendly and knowledgable about area. B&B situated 2km out of town center, but hostess offered rides into town each day. Free WIFI and free use of desktop computer was a major advantage. Generous breakfast including homemade muffins. 5

  • Judith kindly drove us to the nearest supermarket so that we could buy our tea. Also the next day she rose early with us and drove us to the Whale Watch office and made sure we were booked in. Breakfast was very good with lots of fresh fruit. It would be great if the room we were in could be updated as the furnishings were outdated. The shared bathroom was very clean which is something I always appreciate. 4

  • Arrived late at night and yet have to check out early at 10am...maybe an hour extension would have been good..room is too cold as well, no shampoo provided in the shower room as well. 1
    MARIA VICTORIA DACUMOS - Jan 9, 2012 Travelbug verified review
  • I am sorry you were not happy with your stay but 10.00am is standard checkout time and you did not actually request an extension. During peak season we have to get the rooms cleaned for incoming guests. There is a heater stored in the wardrobe which you were welcome to use and we do provide soap in the bathrooms just not shampoo. I feel the amenities we provide i.e. complimentary tea, coffee and fresh baking, fresh flowers and chocolates in the rooms are value for money.
