"Kaikoura was wonderful, our favorite spot in our trip, thanks to a kayak trip surrounded by dolphins and some great food. Judy's house is perfectly located, 3-4 minutes from restaurants, grocery store and the town. She is very friendly. Downsides - internet was a little spotty and dryer doesn't work so well, but the home is still a bargain."

To open up the curtains in the morning to the ocean and the Southern Alps is just breathtaking, not to mention seeing dolphins in the bay as well. It was a shame to have to go home and we would definitely want to stay here should we ever be down that way again. An absolutely amazing place to stay :)"
