Kaikoura was a lovely home. Our family stayed here during the off season & were impressed by a number of things.
The proximity to the beach is hard to beat with a private, dedicated boardwalk.
Since the weather was cooler, we used the pool on the deck almost daily. The heat in the pool made a great place to relax and play after a few hours at the beach in the late evening.
The home was well-planned. Everything we needed was stocked. When we arrived late at night, the driveway was clearly marked. The parking under the home was dry and the elevator made it easy to load/unload our vehicle.
Kaikoura was clean and new. Cleanliness is really important in a rental, and the cleaners obviously work hard on this property. Upon our arrival, it felt like it was ready for us.
The kids LOVED the bunk bed room. It provided their own bathroom with a shower, and tub. They had their own TV, as did all the bedrooms. (We don’t utilize this a lot in our vacations, as we tend more toward outdoor activity, but the house was technologically ready for just about anything.)
The Internet was very fast, and we had no trouble with anything we needed to accomplish online.
We got a lot of use out of the large dining table & enjoyed several family meals together before and after long days.
I can’t say anything but good about Marissa, her responsiveness, and the condition of her property. Hopefully, this property will be available for us to visit again in the future.
