The best things about this property are (1) it's location - slightly out of the main township and with gorgeous views to mountains and sea - and (2) very comfortable beds. We overnighted here to break the journey from Picton to Christchurch. Kaikoura is a great place to do that, especially if you like seafood! We really enjoyed a treat of scallops, blue cod and chips from Coopers Catch in the township shortly after arriving, and a good brunch at The Caves just after checking out. The kitchen was very clean and well set up. The cottage is compact, but does have 3 bedrooms so would be great for families travelling through. The living area is small and a bit challenging, both because it's split in two by a couple of steps and the tv is mounted very high on the wall in the higher part of the room. But the views are to die for and we all slept well. Those are the main things, right?!
