Great place to stay in Kaikoura. You can have a nice walk to the seal colony and cold continue along the peninsula (about 3h slow walk). Half way to the seal colony you will pass a seafood BBQ on your left - highly recommended for the crayfish. If you walk the other side you would hit the town with the shops etc. The apartment is well equipped, and a good place for relax after the hike. Silent bedroom with comfy beds. DeArna is a very warm person and would help you with extra advice and possibly treat (like us) with fruit and cake. Highly recommended.
