When I first arrived at Liz's Barnacle Bills I immediately wanted to stay here for a month. Ever single thing about this place is exceptional: the view, the cleanliness, every utensil is provided, the amount of space, the phenomenal bedding, the multiple sources of heating, the darkening curtains, the front porch w multiple seating overlooking the exquisite view, the option for a large family to stay here, the multiple grilling options, an entire area for cleaning freshly caught fish, TV and radio, hiking near by, the free laundry, and to top it off the garden is one of a master gardener! Liz picked me up from the bus station and took me grocery shopping and showed me around Kaikoura. She dropped me off for my whale watching tour and another day she took me back to get more groceries! Liz is the most gracious and generous host I have experienced. This place is a rare find on airbnb for all of these factors. It will remain the highlight of my trip to New Zealand.
