Marion is a warm and kind host, quite atypical amongst Airbnb hosts who are distant or absent. She is closely interracting with guests, sharing her breakfast table and wonderful stories, her house, garden and gorgeous ocean view. Marion has amazing informations about life in Kaikoura and New Zealand (historical and contemporary), the best advice for getting around, and tips for best view points in town. Staying with Marion is tight in space, but rich in character. We highly recommend it
