Have made a careless decision to book 2 nights here. After arriving realize this is not a wise idea as not easy to travel to Kaikoura back and forth. Try to negotiate with the owner to cancel the 2nd night and doesn’t work it out, thus we have to take the consequence as the strict cancellation terms. Overall, the location is not good if you have other travel plans and the mountain road to here is really challenge; the response of the owner is good however in the conflict situation you won’t feel you are heard and this is just a business for the owner and won’t experience the people insight in the whole conversation. The place is quite but not convenient especially when you take a shower you will find no shampoo and when want to use washing machine just find no washing powder. The owner may consider more how to improve the experience for long term biz. Kindly remind that all travelers pay attention to those strict cancellation terms in advance and read all comments before booking as I have found actually a few people have shared similar experience already.
