    The unit is located in a new subdivision a few kilometers outside Kaikoura. The room was sufficiently large with a comfortable bed. Breakfast is self serve in the communal kitchen. You can also prepare your own meals in the kitchen.

Few places in the world can boast of such nature wonders as those offered by land and sea in Kaikoura. The seaside settlement is the most northern district in the Canterbury region located on the east coast of the South Island (an ideal location for both north and south bound travellers). Kaikoura is located 2.5 hours drive from Christchurch, 1.5 hours from Blenheim and only 2 hours from Picton - the gateway to the North Island.
