Janice‘s Manakau lodge is absolutely fantastic. Mountain and sea views at the same time. Gorgeous house with Tons of TLC furnished, kitchen is perfect and all things from pots to cutlery are great. All looks brandnew and is squeaky clean. Janice is suuuuper friendly and helpful. I mean where do u get a huge nibbly platter with a really good bottle of red wine, fresh eggs from her own chicken and 4 super yummy crayfish tails upon arrival. We were in heaven in Kaikoura and will definitely return to this grand house with a view and more - much much more.
