Cezanne's (and Dave and the kids) place is definitely the place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place on the beach with a magnificent view on the Mountains and close enough to Kaikoura to enjoy the restaurants and shops. Make sure to wake up early and go out on the beach to see the dolphins and fur seals splash around. Or take a few surfing lessons because Dave is an amazing, passionate and dedicated teacher! We felt at home straight away, had such a good time and didn't want to leave. Cezanne even surprised us with fresh crayfish her dad caught that morning and it made us feel like we were part of this beautiful family for a few days. When we visit Kaikoura again we will definitely stay at Cezanne's place again!
