What a fantastic space! It is immaculately clean and set up with everything you need. It is a short walk to the beach allowing for exploration of the river mouth, and also the tide pools at the other end of the beach. They have a lovely garden and welcome you to relax and explore as you wish. Unfortunately, we had a strong southerly for the weekend and didn't get to utilize the garden. But it was wonderful going to sleep listening to the surf.
Kathrin and Walter greeted us when we arrived, gave us the tour and invited us for coffee on the morning of our departure. Certainly some of the most hospitable hosts I have had on any Air BnB stay!
One note, the stove in the picture is now a 2-burner hotplate and a toaster over. However, we used both (at the same time) and it was the same as if the oven was there. The biggest advantage is there is more space for the jug, spices and olive oil (which are supplied with your stay) compared to having a whole appliance in the corner.
We will definitely head back to Kakanui and are looking forward to staying here.
