Just what we were looking for for a quiet retreat in Kaikoura. A detached property within 2 minutes walk straight to the beach. Quiet and comfortable with cooking facilities. Would happily stay again.

Great place to stay - very unique accommodations surrounded by a small farm. Our rooms were part of a renovated 1800s train car. My 11yo son had a blast feeding the llamas, alpacas. pigs, ducks, chickens and deer. The property is very private and quiet at night - just what we were looking for. We hope to visit again.
