we came all the way from Norway and was lucky to find this place. The service and the mangement (Admiral Creighton) was excellent. Said in short: good service is when you have more than expected. That was what we had here. Thanky you Yvonne and Tony - from Inger, Helge and Aage More

Yvonne and Tony are wonderful hosts and our stay was memorable. Tony met us at the train and helped us with our whale watch tickets. Yvonne went our of her way to find a photo of our daughter when she stayed at the Admiral Creighton on a trip in 2009. We felt very at home and enjoyed the antics of... More

Love it here, from the moment we were met from our coach we were made to feel special. We arrived early on the bus and we dumped our stuff before going whale watching. We were even dropped down to the office by Tony who helped rearrange our whale watching time,. The B&B is lovely and had great character. We loved... More

After spending a large part of my life dealing with the low life types in this world, first in the Justice Dept then the New Zealand Police, running an accommodation Lodge in Kaikoura has been a pleasure dealing with people from the other end of the spectrum.

We generally do not stay at B&Bs, but any misgivings we might have had were immediately dispelled when we arrived at the Admiral Creighton. Yvonne and Tony could not have been more wonderful and the accomodation was first class. We have no reservation in recommending the Admiral Creighton - you'll love it. More

It all started on a misunderstanding due to an old Lonely Planet guide. We were supposed to stay at a Convent, but it was transformed as a University 4 years ago. Actually, the same phone number is now the one of this cute B&B owned by a very friendly couple. At the first look, you think it is a little... More

We visited in New Zealand during November 2011. One of the highlights of our stay was the brief stopover at The Admiral Creighton. Its a pleasure to be able to give a totally unrestrined recommendation to a couple who seem to live just to give visitors needs evefry attention, food, accomodation, knowledge on the area. A wonderful stay and a... More

We stayed 2 nights in the Admiral Creighton B&B during our roundtrip. The B&B is in een good location, just a short drive to the most restaurants. We had a nice stay, friendly hosts, nice dog and parrot and a good night sleep. The only thing is that the B&B could use a little modernisation. But maybe that`s the charm... More

Stayed here on our first day of a tour and was very impressed. Tucked away out of the bustle of the lively little town of Kaikoura the Admiral Creighton B&B is a gem! With the Kaikoura mountains in the backyard and the stunning Pacific on the other side the setting couldn't be better. The décor of the B&B is 'old... More
