AAnonymous UserThe landlord is still good, will send their own baked biscuits to customers, very delicious. The breakfast is rich, the lake view is beautiful, the room price is more expensive, but you get what you pay for. There is no kitchen in the room. If you fish in the surrounding sea, you need to go to the restaurant outside.

GGuest UserThe host of the B&B is very nice. 2 rooms can accommodate 4 people. He also picked vegetables for us from his own vegetable garden🥬. It is convenient to drive to the big supermarket to buy things and watch the sunrise and sunset. You can see the sunrise and snow-capped mountains from the kitchen. I strongly recommend staying at this B&B when you go to Kaikoura. It is clean and hygienic. The host is very enthusiastic. You can walk to the beach in the morning to see the gorgeous sunrise.
