The Pier Hotel Restaurant

$$$

In a two-story Victorian waterfront hotel overlooking Ingles Bay, one of Kaikōura's most dependable eateries serves traditional (albeit updated) New Zealand pub fare with an extensive local wine list and craft beer. The bar serves cheaper lunches and pub snacks if you're just looking to graze. Courtesy coach to and from Town Centre by arrangement.
