Pretty perfect location there on the Esplanade. Lovely interiors update & lovely garden patio area.
Pretty perfect location there on the Esplanade. I loved the interior renovations & update. I loved having the outdoor patio area to enjoy a wine at the end of a wonderful day in wonderful weather (for a change!)
A pity…

Truly enjoyed our stay
Our Host was there to greet us and provided a "Lie of the Land" for us, as this was our first overnight stay in Kaikoura.
The easy walk into the Village. Loved the Fish & Chip shop at the west of the shopping centre.…
