This is a perfect little retreat in Kaikoura. The location is great— a very short drive to the town and sights, but in a lovely and quiet location. We really enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere at Te Mahuru... The shared kitchen space is fantastic for laid-back dinners, and the included breakfast was very nice (it also makes your morning more relaxed— one less thing to plan!). The owners of Te Mahuru are there for any of your needs and have plenty of expert, local advice. We would happily stay here again, and highly recommend this for both couples or families.
