Lovely rustic built house with amazing views over Kaikoura which is only a short drive away. Bob left us food to feed the animals which was great for our 3 year old. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great on our visit as it was just after a big storm so we couldn't go whale watching unfortunately. As others have said the house is rustic so expect as much and you'll be fine. It was a bit chilly at times but there is a log fire that can be used.
