This is the absolutely perfect AirBnB. The little cabin is beautiful with a comfortable bed, mini fridge, wine glasses, a wooden board for charcuterie, a little porch to sit in the morning, great landscaping and just all around amazing.
The beach is just across the road, and is a beautiful black sand beach with mountains in the background. The spa/hottub is warm and has amazing views.
David was a wonderful host, and made sure we felt welcomed and at home on their property (which is amazing).
A big surprise was how much we liked Kaikoura. It is about a 15 minute drive down the road and was super cute! The seal colony was about 15 minutes the other way and it was just incredible, hundreds if not thousands of seals!! Little pups too.
If you are staying on the east coast this is a must stay, and if you are not, I would say it was one of my highlights of the South Island, super beautiful driving, beaches, and little towns.
11/10 stars!
