Amazing stay with a great host. Loved to have the cottage a bit out of the way of the main road and had a great night's sleep. We were able to feed the sheep as well as getting a load of information about little river. Ans the cottage is well equipped with everything we needed.

This is a nice hotel but not 5 stars. We only stayed a night. Staff were very friendly and location good but I don’t think worth the money

This was a beautiful, well appointed house which made our stay in Kaikoura outstanding. The house was very clean, and a full suite of kitchen utensils and crockery was provided Views were fantastic, and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a luxury for our family of four.
