We loved it here! Just outside the center of Kaikoura, only 5 minutes from the whale watch. A beautiful garden and a perfect place to relax. There’s even a guest herb garden that we made use of. Jen, thank you for everything, including your great tips for the drive from Kaikoura to Richmond!

WOW! The resort and golf course are incredible. Renting the golf clubs was 30 NZD and we were allowed to keep the clubs in our room. The course was large and really well-kept. On top of that, the rooms had beautiful views, great amenities like a fridge, bath, and dining table, and we absolutely loved the comfy bed. The staff were incredible and we just had the best stay. We also met some amazing people with wonderful life experiences while we were there. We will be back!

Room was spacious, clean and comfy! The rooms all seem to be recently renovated and are quite modern. The owner kept in touch during the stay and kept us informed about some work being done during our stay. Location wasn't central but still really handy! We also loved being able to see the mountains from our room.
