Wouldn’t return
Host was pleasant and provided details on local activities. However property was basic and dated when compared to other VRBO properties we’ve stayed in for similar price.
Cozy cottage to stay and a host that is a delight to deal with. Judy was very helpful on telling us about the local areas to go to as well as tips on where to buy lobsters!
Our little Archie(pooch) has made friends with Judy’s Charlie(yet another pooch). He didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay. Funny that! Thanks Judy
We enjoyed our stay which was close enough to the coast to enjoy our day there. The host was very helpful and we really appreciated the washer snd dryer.
Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this cottage, homely and comfortable, close to town and great we could bring our small dog. Judy was lovely and welcoming.
The cabin is small, excellent for 1 couple, is well organised and has everything you need. Its close to shops, tourist scenic attractions and the sea.
We strongly recommend the easy walk on the cliffs with stunning views overlooking the sea and a seal colony.
This property is lovely and peaceful. The one bedroom cottage was very roomy with very comfortable bed. Nice to be able to have dogs stay.

Miscommunication
The house itself was lovely, however upon arrival the host was rather flustered. Upon leaving there was a miscommunication about check out as our itinerary stated checkout was 11am.We found the host to be rude and unprofessional. We also found that there was little communication as we emailed several times before check in with no reply.
A very pleasant, clean, comfortable and warm home away from home. Met my needs for a brief quiet retreat perfectly. My large labrador had plenty of space too
It was so hard to find accomodation that was reasonably priced that would allow a pet, but this was absolutely perfect! We were staying in Kaikoura to go hunting, diving and fishing. There was a hose outside for washing our gear and a clothesline. It was private and quiet!
We will definitely be back!!
