Lovely location, really helpful and friendly host who clearly cares about their guests and their experience of NZ. The hot tub was a plus! Loved that we were surrounded by mountains, nature and that we were away from the busy areas but close enough for a short drive.

Best place we’ve stayed in New Zealand!!! Very clean, nice view, amazing amenities and friendly host.
The best thing is they have a clean and good hot tub (nice view as well). We wake up with a super nice mountain view and the breakfast is amazing. The host is very nice and let us know about the activities we can do around Kaikoura!!
Everything is exactly like the description and images they post👍👍👍

Amazing tranquil place with amazing amenities, close enough to town but far enough to feel relaxed. Breakfast was amazing and the home made sourdough was to die for. Lots of things to do for kids aswell. Great set up! We will be back x

This is a very quiet and comfortable B&B, a bit like a manor house. It's a little out of town, about a 5-6 minute drive, but it's very peaceful. The owners are very nice and helpful, offering tips on nearby activities. They have two very adorable and affectionate puppies, who will quietly let you pet them.
The B&B is very clean, and the owners are very knowledgeable. If you're looking for a comfortable place to stay, this is a great choice. Free parking is available outside each room, and both the room and bathroom are heated, making it very comfortable.

The B&B is very nice
Very clean
The flowers planted in the yard are beautiful
There are 5 rooms in total, one of which is a double bedroom.
The living room is also very large. Sitting in the yard and basking in the sun is also very pleasant

The hostess is very capable and does not affect the guests' lives at all. It's very good.

It is a small B&B with three or four guest rooms. It takes just over five minutes to drive to the main street of Kaikoura. The surrounding environment is beautiful and quiet, with a large backyard. The facilities are complete and the stay is quite comfortable. The hostess is also very hospitable and considerate. It's a pity that I only stayed for one night. I would like to stay for a few more days next time. If you come to Kaikoura, I recommend staying at this hotel.
