We enjoyed our one night with Peter. Guests should be aware that though this is listed as a B&B the breakfast is a self service continental. Don’t expect to be served a hearty bacon and eggs. Still enjoyed our stay by the ocean.

A beautiful property in a great location. Very quiet, nicely decorated and a self serve breakfast was available. The gardens were stunning.
My only negative is the room could do with the removal of the spiders in the corners.

Lovely and very laid back b&b in a great spot. You are treated as one of the family and the door is always unlocked.
We left a shirt in the room when we left and Sarah posted it to us without any trouble.
Can highly recommend

Quaint B&B in a remarkable location. The view from the B&B is simply spectacular, walking distance to the seal colony (do not miss the hike), the town is nearby with plenty of eating venues. Pete was very hospitable, and even arranged dinner reservations for us. Clean, comfortable bed. Breakfast was self-serve continental.

Great Location at The Point
Pete is a fantastic host, beautiful view from my room. Although it's a working farm, the room was spotless as is the house. Really nice spread for breakfast. Easy walk to see the Seals at The Point & equidistant to Kaikoura Seafood BBQ, as well.

Extra ordinary house from the nineteenth century, very warm welcome from the owner, bit far from the centre but if you have car is recommended

Beautiful old homestead with amazing sea views and morning sun. Hens on site for eggs and sheep to watch. Comfotable bed and excellent breakfast. Good value for money. Lots to do in Kaikoura so stay at least 2 nights.

Very nice house and host. However, we reserved the front room with the ocean view and when we arrived we were given the back room with no view.
