Lovely place. DeArna and Stan were very welcoming and helpful. We had a relaxing couple of days. The lounge/kitchen area is very homely and it had everything we needed to cook. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well. And the view is amazing! (Particularly on the last morning when the clouds cleared!) We enjoyed our time in Kaikoura, the peninsula walk was a highlight, and would highly recommend staying at DeArna's place.
