The apartment also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. 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.)
