We loved our stay at the old schoolhouse . Patrick was the perfect host - there if you needed him . Beautiful property with loads of space - inside and out. There is a large bedroom small bathroom and large lounge diner with well equipped kitchenette complete with wood burning stove that throws out huge heat . Plenty of space to sit and eat outside too
It is 35-40 mins drive to Kaikoura but the drive is very beautiful . No shops so bring everything you need with you .
There have been comments about the traffic - we didn’t find it an issue and it certainly did not interfere with our sleep .
I highly recommend - would love to go back .
