DeArna and Stan welcomed us into their lovely apartment and looked after us well while we were there. The first night we had a storm and the power went off but they gave us some candles and a torch and checked we were OK.
The flat was exactly what we expected and we were very happy with our stay there.

There is no washing machine but there is a laundromat in Kaikoura so we were able to get sorted there.

We liked Kaikoura a lot and enjoyed our boat trips to see whales and albatrosses, the latter was my preference as it's a much smaller boat and we saw lots of birds thanks to Gary the skipper.

We also went to see the seals and Fyffes House and walked up onto the headland which we enjoyed.
