Miharotia means 'to be admired' in Maouri and this is certainly true. Beautiful house in an exceptional location high on the peninsula overlooking Kaikoura. Luxurious accommodation, beautifully furnished, every little detail thought of, perfect for the traveller needing respite. Trevor and Polly are knowledgeable, kind and considerate hosts and nothing is too much trouble. A twenty minute down hill walk... More

We spent Christmas at Miharotia house, staying for three days. It was the perfect way to spend the holidays, starting with bucks fizz for breakfast from the wonderful hosts, Trevor and Polly. The accommodation is first class and very comfortable. Trevor and Polly gave us lots of advice about walks, things to see and places to eat in Kaikoura. This... More

We stayed at Miharotia House for 1 night in February 2011 on our honeymoon. Trevor and Polly made us feel extremely welcome and even gave us some chocolate and sparkly to congratulate on our wedding! The accomodation is excellent, well furnished and spotlessly clean. The views of Kaikoura bay are magnificient, we recommend using the hot tub outside to relax... More

What a stunning piece of architecture with rimu solid wood floors. The rooms are large with beautiful views. Furniture is luxurious and the bathroom only lacks a bath. Trevor and Polly are marvellous hosts keen to please and ensure you enjoy your stay in Kaikoua even if the sea prevents your dolphin or whale trips. Breakfast is a social event... More

My wife and I stayed at Miharotia House for two nights; there is only one word that describes the whole experience ''FANTASTIC''. The quality of the rooms and facilities is on par with any London 5 star hotel but peaceful!! Our hosts Trevor & Polly were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and views... More

We stayed two nights here on our honeymoon and enjoyed every moment of it. We were fortunate to be the only guests during our stay making it feel like "our" house. Trevor and Polly were really great hosts. The rooms were really spatious and the breakfast was superb. When we arrived it was foggy and it was not until the... More

We stayed here for two nights and loved every minute of it. Our hosts, Polly and Trevor, are great company and make a fantastic breakfast! Miharotia House is stunning, with beautiful views of the mountains and Kaikoura. You'll want breakfast, which is on the first floor, to go on forever just so you can keep gazing at the amazing view.... More

We spent three nights here in February 2011. The rooms are wonderful - spacious, lovely finishes and immaculately clean. Hosts Trevor and Polly really make you feel at home - and how good is it starting the day with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast while taking in the views over Kaikoura. Recommend not only Miharotia House but also... More

What a wonderful surprise spot. It would be hard to choose what was best - the views, the gardens, or the wonderful, contemporary house. Everything is first class, including the breakfast. More

On a hill to the south of the town facing out to sea, this B&B has stunning views. Our whale-watching trip was a disappointment, but that was more than made up for by being able to stay in this lovely home. Polly and Trevor are excellent hosts, well attuned to your needs and very friendly. Breakfasts were excellent. More
