The guest house was absolutely brilliant. Just what we needed after many hostels and motels. You have the whole place to yourself, a really stylish little apartment which is perfect for 2 people. Everything you could need for cooking and a lovely sea view. Gore Bay is very beautiful and we used the guest house as a base for exploring Kaikoura (1hr drive one way) and Hanmer Springs (1.5 hour drive one way). The farm was great and it was really nice to chat to John.
