Great little get away
We stayed here for a couple of days to do some work in Kaikoura. The property was well set up, and in a nice tranquil setting.

Had a lovely stay here. Thank you Probably could do with a better vacuum (young kids pick stuff up off floor and eat it etc) but other than that it was really nice.

Exactly as described.
Comfortable stay. Cleanliness was fine, well stocked kitchen. The beds are all quite different and the furniture dated, however everything is exactly as per the photos. Nice change to be in the countryside just a little way out of Kaikoura.

It was adequate in terms of comfort, but we were very disappointed with the cleanliness... particularly the kitchen! We had to wipe out cupboards, clean plates and cutlery before use, and the oven was not clean either ...just lucky we brought baking paper. Lots of dust and cobwebs too.
