A perfect place to stay when visiting Kaikoura, just across the road from the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town.
Looking forward to coming back for longer next time.

fantastic value in the area
Fantastic place to stay in the area. It was very clean, well appointed, and had very comfortable beds. I got a great night's sleep and there are a bunch of dining options within walking distance. I wish I had another night here.
