Large modern home in a pleasant, quiet location, just a few minutes from Kaikoura town centre. Beds were comfortable, linen fresh and clean, effective heating. For a family this was a good place to stay, but it could be taken to the next level with some necessities to make it more welcoming, such as toilet paper, laundry powder, nice shampoo, conditioner and body soap in shower, tissues, some milk in the fridge etc ....the little things that make a huge difference. Some lightbulbs out, and front door latch not working, needed to be locked to close it which was frustrating. Superficially clean but dusty and cobwebs on the lights. Cupboards and drawers with junk in. All small things that add up but are easily solved. But overall served our purpose which was to have a good base from which to explore Kaikoura.
