We loved our stay at Gina & John’s. The place was extremely spacious, and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated having the washer/dryer to do laundry. It is a combined machine, so fair warning it does take about 4 hours to do a load, so keep in mind if you’re going to need to do multiple loads that you should start early. It was conveniently located close to the town of Kaikoura, right off the highway (so you may hear a bit of noise from vehicles overnight, it really didn’t bother us though and was more than worth it for the convenience). We loved feeding the animals, and one of the deer had so much personality - we were laughing watching it run around. The surroundings were so beautiful we actually ended up watching the sunset with cheese and crackers from the Adirondack chairs on the deck. Overall would highly recommend!!
