The Artist’s Retreat is away from the hubbub of Kaikoura centre and yet close enough to be easy and convenient to access. Leanne and Richard have thought of every eventuality for guests from games and books to a fully functional kitchen and comfortable bed. We received an amazing welcome and tour and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The views are stunning and the place itself is so cozy that we felt no need to leave during our far too short one night visit. This place is definitely worth at least two nights or more. Thank-you Leanne for giving us a wonderful set of memories and experience.
