Marilyn and Ken's place is amazing. We got into Kaikoura by bus and they picked us up with our bags and took us to the house. The place is much bigger than the pictures suggest with loads of room and lots of creature comforts on offer. It was so beautifully quiet and we slept the best we had in a while. It's also super conveniently located and is only 5mins to the dolphin encounter and 8 mins from the centre of town. Marilyn and Ken have loads of knowledge and tips on the area and were so helpful and friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer and definitely would stay again.
