Perfect overnight stay

This was perfect for 1 night stay, clean and comfortable. Shame the channels on the TV didn't work. But we were out for dinner, home to bed then back on the road in the morning so didn't matter.

Great place to stay

We had a great time in Kaikoura. Whale watching is a must whilst there. The accommodation was clean and very comfortable suiting our needs perfectly. I was worried how noisy it might be due to the location but this was not an issue at all. Host called me to let me know the cleaner was running late which wasn’t an issue for us as we were still travelling to the location from Christchurch but it was good to be kept updated. I would recommend this property to others.

As the guest hasn't left any comments or communicated any issues with me while she was staying, I can't comment on why she gave a 3 star review, however disappointing it is. Cheers

As Michael didn't leave a comment I have no way of knowing why he only gave three stars however this is obviously disappointing. Michael didn't answer any of my communications during his stay otherwise I may have been able to help with his issues.
