Tim’s place is as accurately described in the picture as the real deal. Tim is extremely understanding for the fact that he was willing to accept a one day reduction of our initial two nights booking as we changed our itinerary subsequent to making the reservation, for that a big thank you! We liked the picturesque summer/winter vacation house design. Apart from the relatively tedious drive back and forth Kaikoura within the evening for dinner, the only downside during our stay is the huge flies that were trapped within the house and got too comfortable to leave, and some even died and were found on the floor, which we had to pick them up and throw. Overall, if we had more time to spare in Mt Lyford and without the huge flies (probably only during Summer season), my family and I wouldn’t mind returning in the future! Thanks Tim!
