Great Place for Family
A large house with good size yard and nice outlook. It was ideal for our family group of 3 generations. Would be keen to book it again next time we do a family trip to Kaikoura.

Review of 48 Tauhou
Large house that was great for our family stay.There were some issues - minimal toilet paper, shabby cooking utensils and a terrible oven, quirky lighting, no rubbish facilities of any kind, general clutter and overgrown gardens that really detracted from what could be a nice place to stay.Mark

Okay Bach, suitable for large families.
The house is suitable for a large group or multiple families sharing space. However the house does need an upgrade such as replacing torn curtain, change light bulbs etc. The host, Teri, is very responsive and easy to get in touch.

Great Location for families
Had a great stay, perfect for families and those with children. The view out to the mountains and reserve is fantastic. Having the playground nearby was an added bonus!
Lots of off street parking and lots of space for the whole family.
Children’s bedroom no longer has bunks and has a bed with trundler instead, so slightly different than pictured. Cleanliness could have been improved but overall good and would stay again
