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

We had a fantastic stay, the view from our room was out of this world, we had a brilliant round of golf and the room had everything we could possibly need. Thanks for a great break away.

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.
