    Pete was a very friendly and welcoming host. Very quiet and scenic spot at the end of the Kaikoura penisula. Close to walkways and Seal colony. I didn't vist these on this occasion as I was tired and weather was cold and wet. But great location...

We are nestled in a bay which overlooks where the mountains meet the sea. A short walk to the seal colony which hosts the beginning to the walkway around the Peninsula. We have a 100 acre sheep farm and operate a Sheep Shearing Show. We have one farm dog called Jed, 300 sheep and 1 dozen hens.
The Seal colony is a 10 minute walk from our B&B, explore the colony before heading off on the Kaikoura peninsula walk. Fyffe House is just around the corner, it is Kaikoura's oldest house and open to the public.
