This is a wonderful spot if you want close proximity to the beautiful Kaikoura coastline. The shops and general amenities are but a short drive away for those trips out you may want to make for provisions and/or to dine out. The hosts are incredibly accommodating and flexible re check outs and ins, if it is at all possible. They are also prepared to go the extra mile when needed - my aged mother (nearly 90) thought she had left her pearls there and Leanne drove an hour for us to search the place for them. Of course, my mother then found them where she had secreted them within her luggage.
Great spot and AWESOME value
