Jennifer is a lovely host and we enjoyed seeing the kids, dog and elusive cats playing in the backyard. It was comfortable and cozy, and really nice that there was air conditioning and a washer. The beds were very comfortable. We did walk almost everywhere from Jennifer's home - 30 minutes to a wonderful winery, 25 minutes to the city center, 5-10 minutes to the grocery, breakfast, and a very good Mexican restaurant though driving is much more convenient. It is a very comfortable place though it feels a bit on the outskirts. Also it was a great base for exploring Kaikoura. Thanks Jennifer and family for your hospitality!
