Bob and Karen are very warm and welcoming hosts! Their place is exploding with kaikoura history and character! Contrary to what the media has publicized the town is in full operation! We hiked the Fyffe Forest trail, visited the lavender farm, had the most amazing crayfish and green lip mussels at the pier hotel, walked the peninsula walkway and viewed the fur seals, drove the Puhi Puhi dirt road to incredible back country scenery, and had perfect fish and chips at Cod and Crayfish. Go and enjoy Bobs and Karen's place; it's rustic and totally warm and welcoming !!! And the view,....well it's absolutely perfect and that is no exaggeration!m
