“We highly recommend this stay near Kaikōura.”
“The Retreat is situated at a beautiful location. Our host was very responsive and personally greeted us when we arrived. Also giving us some peaches and eggs fresh from the property ! The view is unbelievable. Watching the sunrise seated on the bench is spectacular. We look forward to coming back and staying here! Thanks for the amazing stay! ”
