Everything you could want from a self contained cottage: super clean, awesome hosts, and free DVD's . . . peaceful, comfortable and lovely beds and bean bags!

We returned to Kaikoura in April and were welcomed back by Daryl. We got Cottage number 5 which has a wonderful view, and as expected it was absolutely immaculate.

Our family loved staying here. The cottage was clean and modern. Even though it was a very cold night, the cottage was warm and cosy. If the weather had have been nicer I would have loved to put the gorgeous courtyard to use. The host was also lovely.

Beautiful cottage in wonderful surroundings under the spell of lavender perfume. Hosts allowed us to use fresh herbs from their garden to season our fresh seafood we cooked on the BBQ. Quiet peaceful place. Fresh cooked bread with home made jam and lavender honey as well as farm fresh eggs for breakfast. Heaven!

In my extensive years this is the cleanest place I have ever stayed at even beating the 5 star Queenstown resort that we stayed at immediately prior. The cottage was quiet, comfortable and hospitality was first class. I would highly recommend.
