Kaikoura is a perfect place to stop off at when travelling from the North to the South Islands vice versa. Kaikoura’s first and only purpose-built accessible bed and breakfast.
Stephen’s inspiration to build The Kakatu Retreat came from retirement home residents who he regularly delivered equipment to. He would hear how the residents would love the opportunity to go away on holiday. Their access needs whilst away were generally the main barrier to their travels. Stephen and his wife Mary decided to find a solution and build a visitor accommodation that catered for all travellers and mobility requirements. He didn’t want it to be medical looking, he wanted somewhere comfortable and functional.
The accommodation is designed for all needs, so it doesn’t mean you have to have limited mobility to stay here. It has elements of The Principles of Universal Design, a functional space that can cater for all, with the opportunity to adapt with assistive equipment to include everyone. In our case, the option to use our mobile hoist effortlessly and safely is a huge advantage.
