AAnonymous UserThe landlord is still good, will send their own baked biscuits to customers, very delicious. The breakfast is rich, the lake view is beautiful, the room price is more expensive, but you get what you pay for. There is no kitchen in the room. If you fish in the surrounding sea, you need to go to the restaurant outside.

FFENIncluding breakfast, of course not as rich as the hotel, but for B&B, it is already very good The room we booked cannot accommodate an extra bed, but our husband and wife brought children over 4 years old to live well. There is no extra charge for children staying. The room has a small terrace with a nice view The landlord has a dog and a cat, very cute The lodging location is not in the center of the town, but the town itself is not big, so it doesn't matter if you drive. A few hundred meters to the supermarket. Drive 5 minutes to the whale watching and embarkation point.

WWangxiaojia7881Kaikura is beautiful, there are few people, the most worthwhile place for the hotel is to go out to have the most beautiful sunset, go out across the road is the beach, but the beach in New Zealand is really average, but with the sunset is still easy to make a blockbuster, check in The old couple is very enthusiastic, it should be a heavy local population. But everyone still communicates no problem, the fireplace of the room just for picture hahaha, but it will not be cold at night, because his quilt is too hot, the room is large, but the kitchen can not fry steak, go outside and finally give up, barely stay for one night is OK, the requirements are high not suitable
