House was clean and well located.Unfortunately there was no coffee, no soap for shower (but there was shampoo), and we were left 3/4 of one roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 2 days. Toilet paper is a basic thing. If there was a second roll, we have zero idea of where it was and we each looked.

Kaikora south beach

Really loved the location. Had never seen this part of Kaikora before. The sea was so calm and looked beatiful the day we arrived. Just a 2 min walk away. House was great, had everthing we needed.
