The location up on the hill was super. Great to have so much space to set up and relax. Did walks down to each bay. Loved having the coffee machine. Fed the chooks. Very quiet and beautiful mountain sunset view.

The kitchen is fully stocked but oven is not running well as in it is hotter than it says. Trays for the oven are in poor condition so even heating bread burnt the bottom.

Friendly welcome from Veronika, who gave us some complementary milk and we bought some lovely free-range eggs. We stayed in The Lodge, which has a very well-equipped kitchen and lots of nice furniture. So much space! Very comfortable beds. The bathroom (wet room) was quite basic but absolutely fine. We liked that separate boxes were provided for sorting recycling. Free laundry facilities. Various games, puzzles and DVDs. Very peaceful location

The accomodation was a lovely relaxing place to stay. A 20 minute walk to the town centre. The surrounding gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the sea and mountains. The laundry facilities were also very handy.

The bed was too soft for our liking but completely understand that is a personal preference

Spacious, clean & comfortable house. Large well stocked kitchen that made it easy to prepare meals. The view was of both mountains & water. Location is great. Easy to walk both to Kaikoura & South Bay & other tracks. Our host was very responsive & kind. Should we ever find ourselves in Kaikoura again, we would definitely stay here again.

Super clean and comfy beds and lounge sofas. Accommodated five of us easily. Quiet, but an easy two minute drive into Kaikoura. A lovely host who immediately righted a few problems we had.

The house wasn't very private. Our patio was open to the main house drive and we looked out onto The Cottage car parking space/car. Family members walked about by our kitchen window, which was also the route to the laundry area. There is no sea view from this property. This is not clear from the photos.

Excellent location. Wonderful views. Spacious.

The facility is showing some signs of tiredness and lack of maintenance. Handle on entry door broken and cooker oven no longer fit for the purpose. New fridge freezer in situ, so hosts may be addressing this.

Great views and lovely outlook. Plenty of room and kitchen area had everything you need. Very responsive hosts.

I hadn't realised from themap that this road was on a hill above township. A brisk 10 min walk if you are mobile or easy by car/ bike.

Spacious and quiet. Free use of laundry facilities. Easy access to peninsula walks. Friendly hosts. Comfortable beds.

Difficult to get to if not driving (20+ minutes walk up a steep hill from the bus stop)

A tranquil setting and beautiful garden. Wonderful views of the ocean and mountains. Warm and friendly host and family. Eco friendly. Comfortable accommodation. Mostly well equipped. Plenty of dinnerware and glasses.

Our overall experience was very nice but the kitchen lacked some basic eating and cooking utensils such as a baking tray, tongs, egg cups and enough cutlery etc.

Our host was very welcoming and even gave us a little treat on arrival. Lovely and quiet, private and well located. Fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space for everyone. The bed was super comfy and the shower, awesome! We would love to return!

Nothing could be better, it was superb
