Wow! This was the highlight of our travels around the South Island. The host was friendly, the facilities more than we could have asked for. We had a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay. We will definitely be back! The sky at night was spectacular. With no light pollution the stars and satellite were clear and amazed our friend who was travelling with us. This is truly a gem property 💎. Easy driving distance to Kaikoura, as just out of town so peaceful and quiet. Perfect for a family holiday or a friends weekend away.
