    We had not stayed in a shared house and were apprehensive about the noise. It was quiet and the hosts could not have been more accommodating and helpful with what to do. The eggs benedict were the best we have eaten! The robes were a treat

    Mick and Karen were great hosts who couldn’t do enough for us. Mick’s breakfast was amazing - poached eggs just right. Great location up above the main Kaikoura drag and the rooms were immaculate. Hot tub was a bonus! Highly recommend staying here...
