GGuest UserIt is a small B&B with three or four guest rooms. It takes just over five minutes to drive to the main street of Kaikoura. The surrounding environment is beautiful and quiet, with a large backyard. The facilities are complete and the stay is quite comfortable. The hostess is also very hospitable and considerate. It's a pity that I only stayed for one night. I would like to stay for a few more days next time. If you come to Kaikoura, I recommend staying at this hotel.
