We attended the Kaikoura Hop this past weekend and had a wonderful 4 night stay (our second one) at Tui Rest.
The accommodation is clean and sunny and the hosts live at the property but left us to our own devices except for when they dropped off some fresh fish and a couple of crays because they had extra!!! Above and beyond fantastic hospitality. Yum...you wouldn't get that at a motel.
A great spot with everything you need and awesome value. Thanks again..
