Margaret Woodill is the classic Kiwi grandmother and thinks nothing of getting up at 5.30am to cook a full breakfast including homemade bread before your whale-watching or dolphin swimming trip in Kaikoura, New Zealand. She's lived in her Kaikoura peninsula home with its sweeping views of sea and mountains since 1934.
She began taking in passing travellers 25 years ago, just before the whales and dolphins turned the township into a tourist Mecca. When her four children left home, opening a bed and breakfast seemed a logical use for spare bedrooms and bathrooms. Since husband Bob's death in 1999, Margaret says guests are her family and that's why she calls it a HOMESTAY rather than a B&B.
In her one-acre garden she grows tomatoes to go with her home-laid eggs and the breakfast bacon. She bakes her own bread - without the aid of a bread-maker - and makes sure your dietary needs are met before your whale watching boat sails. This traditional kiwi cooked breakfast includes muesli & cereal, homemade preserves & jam and is available as early as required for whale/dolphin watching guests. Enjoy breakfast in the dining area or out on the sunny deck whilst taking in the magnificent mountain view.
