The spacious bed and breakfast is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the sea views. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance.

The house is in a quiet landscape with surrounding grassland with cows, sheep, rabbits. Aspects that really stand out include the views- the mountains behind the house, the sun rising over the ocean in front of the house, and the house itself, which is large, with an upstairs loft bedroom and very comfortable living room downstairs. Indigo has furnished and decorated it beautifully. We really enjoyed her friendly hospitality. Kaikoura is nearby with fine walks and restaurants.

    Didn't even feel like a motel as there were so few units, more like a private apartment with a handy kitchenette! Charming courtyard, quiet, tasteful decor and fixtures, and steps from the beach. I only wished I was staying longer at this wonderful spot.
