Very comfortable and well positioned.

Very welcoming and helpful staff. A fantastic position opposite the beach and easy walk to the town. Good sized bedroom, kitchen and lounge. Bathroom very small. Difficult to sit on toilet as basin too close. No shelf for wash bags. Shower floor slippery.

Nice spot. Easy to live in for our four night stay. Lovely comfortable king bed and nice large living space. Good shower too. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there and in Kaikoura again — it’s a beautiful part of NZ.
