Graeme’s place is nice and cozy with great views looking out over the ocean. Graeme lives on the property and greeted us when we pulled in. The place is small with 3 tiny bedrooms and living area and a decent kitchen and bar area for eating. There is no dining table. It is located directly across from the main boat launch for Kaikoura, which even in late fall is busy with fishing and tour boats being launched and pulled out of the water. The noise was not too bad for us, but there were fumes from the boats depending on the wind. The place is also only 5 minute drive from the main street in Kaikoura where the Dolphin Encounter and restaurants are. Overall, it was a good place for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) for our 2 night stay in Kaikoura.
