The Bach was comfortable and had everything you need. I also want to add that it was very well curated which added to the overall enjoyment. It was great to be able to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the ocean and mountain views.

Delightful beach house
Th house was delightful, the view of the ocean was stunning. House was clean and had all the basic supplies that we needed close to hand (cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink, washer and dryer were a great benefit for a stay halfway through our NZ vacation)
I very much wish we had stayed for 2 or 3 nights to enjoy the area instead of having just one night here.

Amazing getaway
We’ll be back! Stunning views, super well equipped kitchen (knives even sharp enough to cut tomatoes!), great rooms with lovely comfortable beds, excellent bbq, comfortable living room and just a great all round feel to this place. It was recommended to us and we weren’t disappointed. And Tania really helped us out finding a second place for some extra people. Next time we will book the main house and the studio directly next door.

Worth it for the view
Loved the concrete floor, open plan living/dining/kitchen. Works really well having bedrooms off main, was great for our family two adults two teens. Would work equally well for up to three couples. Bathroom rated well with us - spacious room and claw bath was absolutely fantastic. Great to have our two pet dogs - large decked enclosure but not secure on grass as no driveway gate. This property is elevated, private, and has the very best view and walks and tracks accessible from the property. Love to come back again and book the adjacent Bach for an extra couple.

We were REALLY REALLY happy here❤️
The house is comfy and warm with a beauty of a deck overlooking the shoreline of Kaikoura. Very comfortable for 3 of us, well laid out and felt very homey every time we returned from o e of the many adventures in the area. Quiet and restful while still close to town. We loved it!

Perfect
Weekend of our 47th wedding anniversary. The Bach was as described in words and pictures - the view is absolutely superb and the facilities leave nothing to be desired. Our Blue Heeler was quite at home and loved the Pa next door. The host deserves top marks for communication, description and most importantly an outstanding cottage. Thank you Tania

Adequate
Not the best property we have stayed in for the price. Advertises as quiet but tyre marks up the road outside and we eperienced drag racing up the road. A LOT of noise from properties below the house. Dishwasher available but no dishwasher tablets, No wardrobes just a coat rack with two coathangers in each room. Enjoyed our stay fo the incerdible views but wont be back again sadly

This was a fantastic place to stay rain or shine. Awesome retro decor feel. Great views northward over town and the coast. You could spot whales from the deck! Easy to get in and out of town, but on the ridge above town so nice and quiet for a sound nights sleep!

Looking for somewhere fabulous to stay in Kaikoura with your dog
This fabulous three bedroom cottage surpassed our expectations. We were delighted. It was clean, comfortable and a really nice place to stay and relax. The weather was very wet and miserable whilst we were in Kaikoura, but we were cosy and comfortable. Even better, we could take our wee dog. The view is gorgeous. We really appreciated the vases of fresh flowers which made us feel very welcome. I cannot recommend enough.
