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.
