    4 Adults and 1 child. Only a quick stop over to go whale watching the next morning (very convenient). The host was lovely. The cottage was rustic but comfortable and cosy. We will need to try and come back and enjoy the activities on offer. Recommend +++

    It was a fun experience to feed all sort of animals in the morning. The room is old and typical farm cottage. But it has everything a modern facility that we need. I.e. hot shower, heat pump, TV, kitchen appliances. Recommended for short stay !

    Daughter really enjoyed feeding the animals on the farm. We loved our stay but couldn't get on the wifi in the cottage but that was no big issue for us.

    I had the best sleep, so peaceful and we loved the fire and family time. In the morning the kids got to feed the animals...a stay to remember.

    Well set up house, very comfortable. Not far out of Kaikoura and all its attractions. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere a bit different
