The room was extremely clean, more than big enough for the two of us and the hosts were extremely nice and down to earth. Great location with exceptional views of the amazing Kaikoura coastline and nearby Kaikoura mountain range. Added bonus for me was that the room has Sky Sport which was brilliant to watch a couple of Rugby World Cup games on. The hosts also recommended a couple of restaurants for us to go to, and these were amazing too!

A really well stocked holiday home, they have thought of everything for you. Plenty of crockery and glassware, outdoor furniture was fantastic. Front deck for morning sun, back deck for evening sun, just perfect. Views were exceptional. House is on a hill, so was great to soak in all the Kaikoura scenery. The cleanliness of the property was also much appreciated.
