This lovely self contained cottage is very comfortable and has everything you might need- including fresh eggs from their hens!
I am unused to road noise so the nearness of the road to the cottage and the all night noise from the trucks was a challenge for me.
I also did not expect the drive to kaikoura to take so long but with all the construction it took an hour!
On the bright side, Patrick steered me to two undiscovered treasures right near by that I might have missed but for Patrick’s recommendation - Claverley and Conway flats beaches where I walked, saw dolphins and seals and was the ONLY one on this exquisite beach! This should be a destination in itself .... but then it wouldn’t be such an undiscovered treasure!
