Fabulous place to stay. The view was amazing. Grounds were lovely. Room was comfortable, stylish, and clean. Would have loved to stay longer. Julie is a great host and made us a warm and satisfying breakfast.
My wife and I booked this on a whim based on the reviews in Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We stayed in the Hamptons which was on the ground floor which faced the garden with views out to the sea and the mountains. Great room which consisted of a king size bed and a single bed as well. Nice facilities to use with a small nook for making coffee and tea. Breakfast was a nice affair. Don't pass on Julie's ham and cheese croissant as this was delicious. It was nice to talk to Julie and Kerry as we could appreciate their love for their family, Kaikoura, their property and Kerry's love for fishing.

We spent three days in this beautiful location. From our room we had a fantastic view over the sea and the beautifully maintained garden. Kaikoura with its shops and restaurants can be reached easily with a short walk. Breakfast was delicious, especially the freshly prepared fruit salat, and the conversations at the table with other guests well appreciated. Julie and Kerry are very friendly and attentive hosts. Kerry drove us to the starting point of the Peninsula Walkway, so that we could fully enjoy the view from the cliffs on our way back to Kaikoura. Thank you Julie and Kerry!

We stayed for one night only, breaking our train journey from Picton to Christchurch, but we were very glad that we stayed at Bendamere House. Our room was spotlessly clean, and comfortbale. The bed was a little soft for our liking, but that can not be helped. Breakfast was excellent, as was Julie the host. It was a very easy, and short, walk down in to the town of Kaikoura, but back at Bendamere, with it's lovely views of the ocean, and lovely peaceful garden, it felt like the rest of the world was miles away. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

Stayed here on our trip through New Zealand. Well located for access to the main high street of Kaikoura, this is a lovely property with excellent views of the sea from our balcony. We had an upstairs room which was extremely comfortable. The buffet breakfast was good and Julie a lovely host. Happy to recommend.

Among the best accommodation we have stayed in in New Zealand. We had an upstairs room boasting a beautiful view of the gardens and bay framed by the Kaikōura ranges. I couldn’t stop drinking in the view from the balcony in the changing light. The room was beautifully decorated with comfy beds. Goes without saying it was spotlessly clean, but added extras included lovely fluffy robes and delicious homemade lemon shortbread. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit and granola followed by hot cheese & bacon croissant. Nice to chat with fellow travellers and share information & travel tips. Talking of travel tips, Julie gave us worthwhile information around where to eat and the best place to see the seals. We had a fantastic walk with the best views of the seals and their pups. Wish we could have stayed longer. Ps - take the AirKaikoura 40 minute whale watching flight - brilliant - & no more money than the packed whale watching boat.

Such a beautiful , exceptionally clean B&B with the most stunning views. Julie was the perfect host , very welcoming & friendly . The garden area to sit & admire the view is a real added bonus . Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer !

This is B and B accommodation at its best. The room (for a family of three) was immaculate and had everything you could need. The property is lovingly maintained by the owners Kerry and Julie, who were also first class hosts. Friendly and helpful but never intruding on your time. The gardens are beautiful with a stunning view and the perfect place to relax. The property is very well situated in town but with a feeling of being far enough away from the hustle and bustle that meant you could return each evening and relax. All in all the best B and B I have ever encountered. In fact far better than many of the hotels I have stayed in.

Fantastic sea view room looking over the pleasant gardens and sea. Clean, tidy and comfortable bed. Used the balcony for the last of the sun. Breakfast filling and Julie kept us entertained with memories of years gone by and the dramatic events from the earthquake
