This was a wonderful place to stay. Amazing views overlooking the ocean and the town. Rob and Martha are wonderful hosts. Our only regret was we only stayed 2 nights. A car is a must if you stay here.

This is an absolutely beautiful stay, perfectly situated to enjoy the best Kaikoura has to offer. Martha and Rob were friendly and welcoming hosts who did everything they could to make us feel at home, and their garden in particular is spectacular - between the garden and the views, you will not find a better place in town.
