We really enjoyed our stay at Marilyn and Kens. The location is perfect for exploring Kaikoura. We could easily walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, and activities. The space was comfortable, clean, and had a small kitchen to prepare meals. Outside there are many beautiful plants and flowers. They even gave us some lemons from their lemon tree! We went with Kaikoura Kayaks for a great sunset kayak tour and they are located only a few blocks from Marilyns place.
