Cute and comfy cottage with great views of the bay
Lovely little cottage with a good amount of space for a family of 4 with 2 teens (separate rooms a bonus!). Good kitchen facilities, very clean, nicely decorated throughout with comfy beds and great views to the bay. Friendly/welcoming hosts. Great location to stay and explore beautiful Kaikoura - the place has happy holiday.vibes.
