Firstly the space itself. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean with every amenity any traveller could want.
Lounge with high quality sofas and other furnishings. Large hd tv with Netflix.
2 large bedrooms with very comfortable beds and quality bed linen.
Beautiful bathroom, very large with walk in shower and large spa bath.
The best airbnb I have stayed in. You get what you pay for.
Secondly what really makes a great airbnb is the hospitality of the hosts, Bev and Andy couldn't have been any better. She picked me up from Kaikoura station which was great. Then when the train to Christchurch was possibly going to be cancelled they drove me there. They happened to be going anyway but that's not the point, it's the fact that they were thoughtful. Andy even took me on a tour by car on my only full day because the weather was too foul to go out.
Thank you both
