The Lookout was a well-appointed, comfortable home for our multigenerational family of six. It had a lovely, lovely garden in the back in full bloom. The front of the house looks out to the Pacific over pasture fields (some new construction has started across the street). The drive up to The Lookout from the town of Kaikoura was also lovely and made it feel close yet a world away from town. Kaikoura itself was spectacular. The Seal Colony was a hit with the little one. Half the group went shore diving. The aquatic center was a hit for lap swim and play for the little one. The Mayfair theatre was a gorgeous date night out. We had a lovely time and appreciate the hospitality!
