    Kaikoura Cottage

    An old "dog friendly" cottage that has been modernized with double glazed windows, heat pump, new appliances (fridge, microwave, stove, tv ....). Very comfortable stay. It is opposite the boat launch and they launch boats from 4:00 am so take some earplugs. Good value for money.

    What a wonderful stay, great location, warm and cosy, friendly correspondence.We came to bring my elderly Mother and Aunty to visit the area where they had a bach as children. A typo in a message from Raylene had us arrive at 2 Moa Rd, we found out later that day that was the site of the old bach.

    We were very impressed with the location of the property very special place with ocean views and ringside seat for watching boats being pulled up ramp by sturdy little tractors. The fittings were very comfortable and clean and warm. So relaxing, would definitely go again any time.

    Clean and tidy seaside bach, has been modernized, the online description said there was wifi but that was incorrect. The floor is uneven which is what you could expect from a bach of this age, loved the location. Would stay again

    Awesome watching all the boats going in and out. Not so good at 4am tho. The single beds were great the double was as hard as rock. That bed is the only downfall.

    Disliked: Communication
    The location and setup seemed to be ok. Unfortunately, when we arrived, other guests had already taken occupation of the cottage. Once we had gotten in contact with the owner, it was confirmed that we were expected to be there and the other occupants did not belong. It turned out that they had booked the following weekend. We were given other accommodation, not up to the same standard we had booked (including one less bed - forced to share) and it cost $100 less. We were put out and the owner makes $100 on the deal, what the actual?? We tried to negotiate a partial refund but not accepted by the owner. Seems an unreasonable solution, quite disappointing.
