The Wacky Stays website offers the cheapest prices anywhere!
However, if you select us from one of the internet search engines, the price will probably be much higher due to the HUGE commission they add to a booking. The search engines also restrict and control our communications, for their benefit.
Booking with us directly, means you are in-contact with staff living and working on the Wacky Stays site in Kaikoura, NZ. Consequently, we can provide you with local information and more personal service.
We believe this is a fair and honest pricing strategy.

All properties have tea and coffee making facilities, including: Filter coffee, three different teas, drinking chocolate, and real milk.
