The property was lovely and spacious. The views are truly exceptional, both of mountains and sea. Our host was extremely friendly and gave us plenty of useful information. She also has stocked the house with plenty of food to make your stay even more comfortable! Thank you very much, would recommend for anyone visiting the kaikoura area!
Thanks to the lovely hosts who made a huge effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We met all the animals and enjoyed our relaxing night at the quirky house.
