    Wonderful location and great property. The room was spacious and clean. I didn’t use the hot tub/pool or the kitchen so I can’t comment on those areas. I only stayed for a night but definitely would stay for longer!

    Pleasant stay for one night in Kaikōura. Rooms were big with plenty of space for belongings. There’s a terrace with a pretty view.
