Not my cup of tea!
If you don’t mind uncomfortable beds and bedrooms so small that you can’t fit anything else in them, then this is the place to stay. Dishwasher was broken, so we found dirty cups, plates and utensils in the cupboards. Toaster was broken, stove didn’t light, bedside lights were either nonexistent or didn’t work. They need to have a clean out, because I’m not sure what style they were going for 🤔

Never recieved any check in details despite the host insisting they sent them to us. After a 5 hour drive had to wait for a quite a while to finally recieve the code for the keys. Never had any internet connection throughout our stay(3 nights/4 days), host has promised a partial refund, but are yet to see that appear on our CC....

Excellent place to stay
Had a great stay in Kaikoura. The property was great, everything that you needed to make the stay perfect. Nice deck to sit outside to enjoy the view of the snow capped mountains. Secure back yard. Location was good, walking distance to supermarket, and short drive to center of town.

Great Host, Bad Booking System
We turned up to unfortunately find a couple already in the accommodation we booked. Bookabach had confirmed our booking and taken payment, but somehow this was not communicated to the host as they had no details of our stay. Luckily the host had several properties, so even though it was 6pm she was able to find us somewhere. A call to Bookabatch resulted in zero sympathy or understanding that there was a problem, as accomodation was eventually found by the host. Next time we will book direct with Kaikoura Holiday Homes and skip the use of this 3rd party site. The house did look nice from the front door!
