This house is much more beautiful than the pictures give it credit. Everything about it is perfect. From the living room you have a perfect view of the Kaikoura beach. The host Anna was super responsive and beyond helpful. Everything in the house was set up to make the guests feel like at home. I would highly recommend this house!

This property was modern, exceptionally clean and spacious enough for our family of 4 adults and 3 kids. Every detail to make our stay comfortable was thought about, even games and books for the kids with table soccer and even child safe gates to keep our toddler safe from the stairs. A very well equipped kitchen with modern appliances. The spectacular view of the ocean and mountains truly made it so special and the setting away from the main town was relaxing. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very kind and were very quick to respond to messages. I highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

A beautiful home that is comfortable, modern and very clean! We loved the views from the living room and the hosts were very quick to respond to questions during our stay. The highlight of this place is all the extras the hosts provided, including beach seating chairs, binoculars (which we constantly used, and allowed us to see dolphins in the ocean from afar) and so much more! They really thought of everything!

Beautiful cabin set in an idyllic location, cosy modern furnishings, comfy bed, large soak bath and lots of other goodies inside to surprise and delight- very thoughtfully stocked and tastefully decorated. The hosts responded quickly and efficiently as we booked quite late in the day. Fabulous stay, highly recommend.
