"Lovely place with easy access to the beach. Extremely quiet and dark, allowing for great stargazing. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Friendly host who quickly explained everything and was available for questions via text. Would definitely return the next time we’re near Kaikoura. "

6/10 Okay
"The room was clean and tidy but for price and 5 star rating I expect more. Couldn't fit a 1ltr milk in fridge without taking shelves out nothing would fit in door except those little milk potties for 1 cup... only 2 normal teabags supplied, no snacks etc. Tissue box looked pretty with the 4 tissues nicely placed out the top. No hook for hand towel beside vanity, no toilet brush (needed sometimes) Don't get me started on the TV! No where to hang long dresses, only hooks on wall about where you put your bag...Very disappointed with room but staff and food were good."
