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.

A perfect place to stay when visiting Kaikoura, just across the road from the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town. Looking forward to coming back for longer next time.
