We arrive late due to the temporary closing of SH-1 from Christchurch to Kaikoura but DeArna welcome us warmly. She is very hospitable and the apartment is nice, clean and decorated with artistic style. You can see the mountain and the seashore right in front of the apartment. It's beautiful when it's not entirely cloudy. DeArna gave us some pointers as where to have our sea food craving. The place is close to the seal colony (well, short distance but still driving is a better choice.) We enjoy our staying in this place.
