We enjoyed our short stay at Studio 727 very much. It is only 1 minute drive from all Kaikoura has to offer or several minutes walk (Which we did a number of times). Just down the road from the supermarket, across the road from Bernies Diner and while it is on SH 1 they have done a great job in sound proofing the unit. It is well appointed, clean, comfortable and really quite spacious. We would stay again in a heartbeat when we return to do more adventures in and around the Kaikoura district. Great place to stay.
