 THE OLD CONVENT BED & BREAKFAST,
KAIKOURA

 "Get in the habit, stay at The Old Convent, none can compare"

Experience the atmosphere in Kaikoura's premier historic accommodation under the Kaikoura mountains.
The Old Convent bed and breakfast, built for French nuns in 1910 is set in 2.5 acres of trees and gardens.
Owned by New Zealanders whose great grandparents came to the area in 1855, the Old Convent is a friendly house brimming with local and New Zealand knowledge and a wonderful place to relax in peaceful surroundings.
There is a swimming pool, bikes to ride, petanque, volleyball and croquet to play.
A continental and cooked breakfast is offered and guests enjoy our homemade jams, yoghurt and muesli with lots of fresh fruit, some from our own trees.

The Old Convent is just four minutes drive from Whale Watch and Kaikoura township.

More than a bed, a wonderful stay to remember

Dinner at the Old Convent
Come for dinner in the former parlour and music room or on summer evenings dine al fresco on the deck under the mountains. Superb choice of food (including crayfish), wonderful dinner companions,
lively conversation and a good time is had by all in a beautiful setting. You can eat
at a separate table but most guests enjoy sitting with others at our tables of six or eight.
Local wines available from the Old Convent bar.
Outside guests should ring to book.

Relaxing atmosphere.
