Good farm cottage that worked well for us to break up the trip North and lessen the complaints from the kids. :) Coffee while we charged the car in Christchurch, dinner in Kaikoura, then on to Ward. It meant we could meet friends for a relaxed brunch in Blenheim the next morning before catching the 2pm ferry. Clean cottage, comfortable beds, easy access on arrival, cheap and cheerful. Thanks Trudi!
