We have stayed there before its a great place to stay and very close to all things we wanted to do and love it, but we think the people before us could of had a pet with them white hair over things. I would stay there again.

This property was very handy to South Bay boat ramp, and easy off-street parking for the boat. We enjoyed our stay, the property had all the amenities we needed and was warm and comfortable.
Loved our stay here! My two young kids and I had enough space to run around outside and all the comforts inside for when the weather shifted and we headed indoors. Close to all of the best parts of Kaikoura and just a short walk to the peninsula track. Loved our stay!
Ideal for fishing/ surfing trips (literally a stones throw to the ramp). Really private location tucked down a drive way. Clean and tidy, great little spot.
We enjoyed a wonderful time in this small but well equipped bach. It suited our small, young family and we were thrilled with the location which was just a short walk to the beach/bay.) A recommended place to stay!
