We had a great stay at Gerhard's place at the very start of Kaikoura. The mountains right in the backyard were a stunning sight to see every day. The only downside was we were not aware there was no dividing fence with the next door neighbours, and their yard and the empty lot with debris gave an unexpected first impression. We also would loved a fire surround for visiting little ones.
That aside, the house was clean and there was plenty of heating. Gerhard's communication was unfaultable, and easy to follow. Thank you.
