I stayed 3 night with my 2 pups and absolutely loved this place. The view off the porch is stunning and it’s nice and private. It is close to the road and train tracks but the occasional truck or train I heard didn’t bother me at all. It was very clean and well maintained. The wood burning stove heats the place nicely. There’s no wifi or tv making it the perfect place to disconnect and just relax. It’s a short drive to Kaikoura where there are tons of things to do and cool places to explore. I would highly recommend and hope to come back in the future for another stay!
