It suited us. Thanks. The bedroom curtain needs attention. It was very warm on arrival due to all windows closed in hot weather. We would like to have been told where to take our rubbish.

We have stayed there before its a great place to stay and very close to all things we wanted to do and love it, but we think the people before us could of had a pet with them white hair over things. I would stay there again.

Ideal for fishing/ surfing trips (literally a stones throw to the ramp). Really private location tucked down a drive way. Clean and tidy, great little spot.

Overall the stay was great. Accomodation had everything we wanted. But it was very clear that the previous people had not given a toss about cleaing before leaving. Both beds were clearly used, blankets were thrown on. The bathroom was not cleaned, still had belongings in it. Floors had not be vacuumed or washed. Very dissapointing. We did leave in a much better state than what we found.

Our week-long stay in Kaikoura was an escape from Wellington and the chance to catch up with our adult daughter. As the weather was atrocious ŵe were very happy with the comfortable sofa and the flatscreen TV with Netflix. We couldn’t use the dining room table which was on the deck outside because of the temperatures but in summer it must be bliss. Overall we really enjoyed the cosy little bach. Communication with the hosts was outstanding; when we had problems with the hot water the plumber arrived in a flash and fixed it. Thank you for a fuss free stay! P.S. There is a recycling centre on top of the peninsula for rubbish and recycling.

We enjoyed a wonderful time in this small but well equipped bach. It suited our small, young family and we were thrilled with the location which was just a short walk to the beach/bay.) A recommended place to stay!

Property was easy to find and had everything we needed. Level of cleanliness was below par (dead bugs everywhere, peanuts throughout the second bedroom, needs a deep clean), owner offered another night for free which we won't use as we won't be going through again any time soon. Thanks.

For the style of the place and the price you have to pay, the level of clean up you have to do before leaving seems a little disappointing, especially when there doesn’t appear to be much input from hosts between visits.
