Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Will 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Amenities, communication For the price point this accomodation is pretty good for a one-night stay. However the roof/floor of the second story is very thin and we heard children stomping on the roof in to the late hours of the night. The shower drain was blocked and the shower experience was similar to being peed on. There was what I hope was dog poo in the car park area which was slightly off putting and there was a random hair ball near our front door when we checked in. Also recommend taking extra blankets if you're not used to the colder months in Kaikoura. Overall got what we paid for and for the price point am likely to stay again but we wanted to be fully open and transparent in this review. :) ##### Will Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Karen B. 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location ##### Karen B.
