Regrettably, we were unable to stay at Marilyn's place due to highway closures as a result of Cyclone Gita. Though we were forced to cancel less than 24 hrs. before our scheduled check in, Marilyn was very understanding. In fact, she waived her cancellation policy and allowed us to obtain a full refund. We would not hesitate to book this property should Kaikoura be in our future travel plans.
