Very very nice. Loved the chairs with foot rests and the ability to move them in the space. First place I stayed where the tv is on a very large movable bracket so can watch it from anywhere in the room. Awesome view of ocean. Short walk to food(lots of choices). Best thing was the bed, it was like sleeping on a cloud.

Fantastic location. Being right next door to a cafe was convenient for breakfast. A walk across the road and you were on the beach. Beautiful and stunning views. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would always stay here when we pass through Kaikoura.
