DeArna was a great host, really friendly and great to chat to, and really quick to respond to any questions or messages. She also had some great suggestions of places to visit and eat. The apartment itself is beautiful, really spacious, clean and modern. It has a great kitchen, comfy couches and the bed is superb too. The living room and porch has a lovely view of the harbour and the place is very close to Kaikoura and the dolphin and whale watching places. This is the perfect base for Kaikoura, I would 100% recommend it to anyone.
