We love the style and decoration of the house including the available facilities and details. The owner must love the house so much, so we thank for sharing the lovely place with us. The view is superb. The garden is beautiful. The 3rd bedroom has an ensuite facility and very private. We didn't use the study room though the owner left us a key to access as well. We didn't cook but the kitchen utensils are of good quality.

The owners were very accomodating. Very clean and a rustic bach style feel. Well stocked kitchen and everything you need. There is a very comfy couch and heat pump in the lounge keeps one end of the house super warm. Linen and towels were provided.

    Exceptional location, set back of the main road tuck down a long winding driveway is a little slice of a what I believe to be a true tkiwi motel, well to me it was anyway. Quite, comfortable, clean, value for money most of all it is one of the few pet friendly accommodation in Kiakoura. Windows open I can still hear the the waves crashing on the shore…Bliss to me anyway.
