Marion is a warm and generous host with a good sense of humour. Enjoyed our chats. Her cabin was cosy and very comfortable with views of the ocean and provided with a kettle, tea and coffee. Kitchen, bathroom and shared spaces are next door in her home which was well equipped and easily accessible. She gave us some wonderful tips for sightseeing in Kaikoura especially the coastal walk to see the seals. Busy tourist town but the coastline is spectacular from the beach and the cliff top track. Pleasant stay, friendly host and the few trains that went past didn't bother us. Recommended.
