If you would like to turn it up a notch and really experience a different sort of a place to stay overnight, that's your bet. My only regret is that I stayed in "the bus" for one night. Would have loved to sleep there with heavy rain and wind. If you plan to do some hiking nearby (Mt. Fuffy) or whale watching at the Kaikoura coast, I would not look further. It's a bit different, but well worth place to stay. The beds are comfy and help you recover from even the heaviest day hikes. Recommended!
