Kaikoura is a great place, and DeArna is a perfect host. We stayed three nights in her house, everything was great. DeArna prepared so many tips about activities and restaurants, soooo sweet. The house is very close to the sea, great location and very quiet, in the morning we leave, we also went the see the sunrise. My boyfriend and I agreed that the stay at DeArna's place was one of the highlights of the trip. If we have chance, we'll definitely come back again.
