Kaikoura is a wonderful place to stop for some days on your journey and Ruth is a fabulous host: generous, friendly and always ready to give tips about what to do. The room is spacious and comfortable. It is on a separate story, so you will have a lot of privacy. It is surrounded by a tastefully planted garden whee you can have your breakfast in the morning (provided for by Ruth) or just sit around and enjoy the sun. On top of everything there is the Whirlpool: Luxury!
