HIGHLY recommended
If you’re staying in Kaikoura, Ruth’s home is ideal. You are a stone’s throw from Kaikoura lookout, and town is so close you could probably walk (although there is a large hill). Both Ruth and Brian were very helpful with local hints. The space is quite large with a comfortable bed and brand new detached bathroom. They supplied quite the variety for breakfast (one of the best I’ve had with AirBnB). WiFi was they best we had in New Zealand, and even the dog was quite friendly. They have a beautifully landscaped yard which provides a nice view. We only regret that we did not stay longer, and we certainly hope to return.
Side note: while in kailoura, DO NOT miss Dolphin Encounter.
