There were some positive & negatives with this B & B. Great location is a plus. Close to Pt. Kean & the seal colony. And the sheep shearing show they provide on premises for $10/adult was also convenient & educational. Great tasting BBQ crayfish down the road. However, host doesn't easily engage in conversation but does when drawn into a... More

Kaikoura was our first stop after having escaped the Nelson floods just before Christmas and we arrived exhausted to a warm welcome from both Gwenda and Peter. Gwenda was happy to recommend places to eat and also checked whether our whale watching trip was running the following morning, which we appreciated. The room was lovely, and the bathroom beautifully decorated.... More

One room is by the front door and although there are only 2 rooms, it could be bit noisy, especially if you need an afternoon nap. Rooms clean and basic. Breakfast also very basic, although you are offered free range eggs for breakfast, which are yummy. Views from the home stay are breathtaking . Nothing luxurious, but good and basic... More

We stayed here for three nights some time ago but I had only found this website recently and didn't know I could share our experiences (I wish we did this after we left). First, the only good point: It's in a beautiful location with magnificent views to the Kaikoura ranges across the water, and walking distance to the seal colony.... More

We travelled extensively around NZ over a three week period and rate this B&B the bottom of the pile of all the places we stayed by a long way. We felt total intruders in someone's home. No genuine NZ hospitality here, it is a working farm and you are there to help generate an income. The room we stayed in... More

For the $140NDZ we paid, to feel like unwanted guests which had to fight over the tv channel with the "man of the house" as he sat on his favourite couch. I... More

We stayed at The Point at the beginning of March and although a very good location, it was not quite as good as we expected. Our room was dull and lifeless with no tea/coffee making facilities or a televion, although both were available in the house. Breakfast on the first morning was served at a very basic unloved table, but... More

I really enjoyed staying at Gwenda and Peter's home. A car is a must but worth it for this tranquil picturesque location. I would certainly stay here again.

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Place was not exactly close to downtown so you must have a car. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean but a bit too small.
