I loved everything about this place, but especially the people! The manager (or owner) helped me out one day (I am still so thankful for that!) and the staff really went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I will definitely remember the lovely chat I had with the girl by checkout. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant in Kaikoura! (About the room: big, super clean, nice view from the balcony, feels homey.)

We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment which had a fantastic modern kitchen with everything we needed to cook a nice meal. The high ceilings and gas fire made the living room a really lovely place to sit and have a wine and read when it was raining outside. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space in the apartment. There was also a lovely outdoor eating area which I think would be great in warmer weather.

This was the last accommodation during our New Zealand trip and we have kept the best for last. What a beautiful chalet! The owners have clearly love and respect for their property. It is well-maintained and very clean. It offers all the comfort and luxury you need. It's beautifully styled. I love how the chalet is oriented on couples and not large families. It radiates romantic and peaceful vibes. The surroundings (mountains, fields) are amazing and the animals are soooo cute. I loved to watch the alpacas from my bed. I wish New Zealand was closer to home so I could visit again. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it so much! I highly, highly recommend staying here. And please: take care of this chalet like it is your own home.

    This was one of the nicest accommodation that we stayed at for our holiday in New Zealand. The unit was large, spacious, clean, thoughtfully designed and came with everything that you would need. Great experience feeding the alpacas and sheep as they would literally come bounding towards you with joy! Owner was friendly as well. Would definitely recommend!
