Stunning location with amazing views and so quiet!
Absolutely beautiful spot with stunning views. Very spacious. Disappointing there was no comfortable lounge chair to sit by the window to appreciate the view or have bed on the other side of the room so you could see the veiw from the bed. Bed extremely comfortable and so nice & quiet there. A bigger counter for tea/coffee making be a good idea and brighter light (with dimmer) be helpful. Staff left earlier than advertised reception hours so couldn’t ask questions. Owners could do so much more to make the most of stunning location & wonderful size of the rooms-be happy to give free interior design idea if interested. Of course the golf course the big draw card and the course did look extremely well maintained. Hope to return

This is the perfect getaway for golfers of any level. The golf course is well maintained and in a spectacular setting and the views awesome. Tricky greens that actually break towards the ocean, like Warren said. Liked all of it and will be back for more. Only a short drive into Kaikoura with all its shops and eateries.

This was a trip for work so I really appreciate the large comfortable room, the bed was amazing and the property was so quite and I loved that when I turned off the light at night it was dark. I live rurally and so many accommodation places have annoying outside lights that can't be turned off so the light noise keeps me awake half the night.

Very private, lovely surroundings. The room was very clean and comfortable. It did say it had breakfast (this was weetbix and bread with some single spreads in the fridge) at a cost of $20. It also said meals were available, however this was not the case.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
We stayed one night and it was lovely. Beautiful room overlooking the golf course and across the bay to Kaikoura. Quiet and peaceful with birdsong from nearby bush. Well appointed room with everything you need. The bed was super comfy. There was even a complimentary continental breakfast which we weren't expecting. Would definitely stay again.

The WiFi Internet has a data cap. This is unacceptable in 2020! This is like restricting how many hours per day the electricity works.

Response from Warren on 27 Feb,2020
The data cap is 6 gig per 12 hours which most people don't used. If you had asked you could have got as much as you want.The only reason it is caped is to give everyone quick Wifi as we do not have wired internet assess .If only you had asked

Beautiful location about 5 minute drive out of town therefore having a car is essential. New development of 5 ensuite -rooms, very comfortable new beds. Bring your own breakfast items if you want to make your own. No restaurant facility otherwise. drinks available at golf club bar until 6pm.

Short break
Very pleased to find that the accommodation was in a quiet location with stunning views, and only a short drive from the town. We received a warm welcome, and found our room to be very clean and well equipped. The only disappointment we had was the lack of privacy on the outside terrace from the other rooms. Would use this venue again.
