    We were booked to a rear studio unit, which was roomy and clean. Being a rear unit also meant no traffic noise. The location is good, being a five minute walk to the township. We would stay again for an overnight trip.

    Very easy to find and close to the main street of Kaikoura. The carpark is fantastic. There’s parking as you arrive in the property and a courtyard parking within the center of the units, well off and not visible from the main road. Great for...
