Balcony waterfront! I had an upstairs room I could drive right to the door! (No stairs!) It was conveniently located in The Esplanade & quiet. It had a great shower. It was like I was in my own log cabin! Beautiful!

Two bedroom upstairs unit with unimpeded view of bay and mountains across the bay. And we can park car right outside the door to take things in. Separate toilet and bath are good. We stay here whenever we bring friends to Kaikoura.
