Four of us stayed here for 1 night while in Kaikoura and were very impressed. The hosts were excellent and we had a laugh, they also had some good recommendations. A little out of town but still close enough. The cottages have really nice gardens, perfect for a spot of sunbathing after your wildlife activities. Cottages are well equiped and... More

Have stayed at these lovely little cottages many times during our annual South Island motorcycle tour. Excellent sized very clean rooms. On our last visit the owner even offered us the use of his vehicle to go into town for dinner as it was pouring with rain, also offered to dry our wet motorcycle gear. Stunning views of Kaikoura ranges... More

We stayed her on a NZ road trip over the Easter Weekend. Accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable and looked like it had been updated recently. A little bit out of town but fine if you have a car or transport. If you are heading North from Kaikoura make sure you stop at Oahu Scenic reserve - about 10 minutes... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at this motel. The cottage was well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished - a lot of care and attention has been taken to ensure the properties are maintained and kept modern.The setting is also beautiful and peaceful. We wish we could have stayed for longer!

Individual cottages, well contained and maintained, quiet with awesome views of the mountains with very friendly hosts and access to their DVD library for free for the times when you need a break from walking, sightseeing and carrying the wifes shopping!
