Pleasant stay

We had a relaxing enjoyable stay and chose the buffet breakfast option when making our booking. Our room had an ocean balcony view, with comfortable furnishings. The buffet breakfast options were great and the staff friendly and very helpful. During our stay, James was particularly helpful when responding to requests including resolving a room WiFi issue for us. A recommended stay in Kaikoura.
