Great place to stay
We had a great time in Kaikoura. Whale watching is a must whilst there.
The accommodation was clean and very comfortable suiting our needs perfectly. I was worried how noisy it might be due to the location but this was not an issue at all. Host called me to let me know the cleaner was running late which wasn’t an issue for us as we were still travelling to the location from Christchurch but it was good to be kept updated. I would recommend this property to others.

Perfect overnight stay
This was perfect for 1 night stay, clean and comfortable. Shame the channels on the TV didn't work. But we were out for dinner, home to bed then back on the road in the morning so didn't matter.
