Tim's place was much bigger than we expected! It has a great open kitchen / dining / living area, that's great for hanging out, and a nice garden area we would have enjoyed if we had better weather! In terms of location, you're a couple of miles from the town, so be prepared to walk half an hour each way (or there is a single taxi in Kaikoura). We had a great time there, Tim was very communicative, and helped organise some extras for me. Would definitely recommend!
