Ruth gave us a warm welcome when we arrived to her place, showed us around and even suggested us to go for the peninsula coastal walk which was absolutely stunning! The room is right next to the garden which was just so nice and peaceful! Ruth was so kind to provide us with a wide selection of breakfast options and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. We got to meet both her and her husband Brian which are just such lovely and warm people. Strongly recommended staying over at their place while exploring Kaikoura! Thank you so much Ruth and Brian :)
