Bunks in the second bedroom, kitchen bench, and bathroom vanity were handcrafted and purpose built. A good selection of New Zealand books and artwork complement the tasteful decor and relaxed atmosphere. Free wireless computer access with good speed. BYO linens (or option to hire) Suited to whatever your degree of fitness and energy, there are a variety of walks, with stunning views that take you around the owners’ garden, the peninsula or down to the township.

I had a lovely two night stay, the owner's were lovely and very welcoming. The apartment was clean and quiet with a beautiful outlook, especially on a clear day. The apartment is close to Kaikōura township, but being on the hill made it feel remote. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves, and also walking some of the many tracks close to the accommodation. I will definitely stay again :)

Wonderful couple of days in Martha’s apartment overlooking Kaikoura. Well organised in advance; Martha & Rob we’re on holiday themselves, so we never met them, but self check was simple, and their son Seth popped in to make sure we were settled. The apartment was perfect for us, the garden was wonderful, and the view just magical. Obviously the weather helped, but even as we were leaving on a wet final day, the view down to the town was still something special. Would highly recommend!

This location has to be the best view in Kaikoura. From stunning mountain views to dolphins playing in the bay, it was hard to leave. Great for a relaxing getaway. We got to meet the fantastic hosts who gave us a tour of thier beautiful garden as well. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful place too stay with helpful and thoughtful hosts. Wouldn't wish for anything to change - it is just perfect. Despite the weather being poor for much of our stay we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden and get glimpses of the snow-capped mountains across the water.

Great spot for enjoying the views of the bay and mountains. Rob and Martha were charming hosts, and we loved Rob's guided tour of the garden. The accommodation would benefit from a little up-dating, but very comfortable none the less.

Martha was an excellent host and most accommodating. The apartment was well laid out with everything you needed. It was a great spot to explore the area and also a great place to stay, rest, read and admire the fantastic scenery from your own private balcony.

Martha, Rob & Seth are excellent hosts - great communication and keen to share Rob's amazing garden and pottery skills. Just what we needed - a quiet spot away from crowded/noisy motel/hotel accommodation and with an amazing view. Thanks for your hospitality.

Spacious apartment with extraordinary views over Kiakoura. The only property we stayed in during our time in NZ with insect screens at the windows which was welcome. Allow lots of time to sit out on the balcony and soak up the view. Property is pretty much on the circular Kiakoura Peninsula walk, but is quite a walk from the main shops and cafes. There is a steep footpath and steps nearby taking you to shore level. The garden is an absolute delight. Sadly we never got to meet Barbara, but communication with her was very easy before our arrival. Her adult son looked after our check in and out. Gorgeous place, wish we could’ve stayed longer.

What a wonderful place, well equipped apartment and the most wonderful view even from inside and the very large deck. Quirky artwork inside and outside, loved the ski chairs and swing. Beautiful garden with stream and pond. Easy short walk to beach

The hosts couldn't possibly be any nicer, the property is gorgeous and the view spectacular. Although it's on the cliff above town you can reach most everything on foot.

We really enjoyed our time in Kaikoura and this place and Martha were a big part of that. The view is amazing of the bay. It’s a five minute drive to the restaurants. We did the Peninsula Walkway circuit which you can actually start and end and the vrbo. Martha recommended some places to eat (Zephyr, Simes) all were great. If you’re looking for something unique in Kaikoura this is it!

A very well thought out and comfortable apartment in a lovely residential setting with amazing views over Kaikoura. Martha and Robert couldn’t have been more helpful as we’d arrived without a car and were slightly stranded.
