This accommodation has been a highlight of our trip. The house is comfortable and pleasant with glorious views of the spectacular setting. When we arrived, Leanne had just lit the fire for us—typical of a multitude of thoughtful touches, from the detailed location and parking directions that took the guess work out of an after-dark arrival, to the delicious array of breakfast possibilities, to the lavender on pillows and window sills, to bringing the sweater I left behind to Whale Watch Kaikoura before I even missed it The notes about what to expect are a masterpiece of detailed information combined with delightful description. The menagerie of animals will delight animal lovers but are not in the least obtrusive.
