This is Kaikoura's largest bed and breakfast with 16 rooms. The business is set up in the historic former convent building and school in the midst of dairy farming country just four minutes drive from the Kaikoura township. Guests come to enjoy the majestic setting under the mountains and the peaceful country location, the character and homely feeling of the guesthouse and the all-in-one service - bed and breakfast, dinner, activities, etc.

This is for you if you would love to have a lifestyle business, have a love of history and the charm of older buildings, want to meet great people (the guests), live in a scenic place, enjoy the friendliness of a smallish town (4000) that is only two and a quarter hours from the big city (Christchurch) and an hour and a half from a major centre (Blenheim).
