Spacious Quiet | 3BR | Decks | Wi-Fi | BBQ | Views

This modern holiday home is designed for comfort and convenience, offering everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The open-plan living area includes a fully equipped kitchen with a built-in oven, ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, and a granite-topped island. Gather around the island or enjoy fresh coffee from the bean-to-cup espresso machine while preparing meals. The dining area seats six, and the lounge features a leather suite, 55" TV with Netflix, and a Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth speaker.

Sliding doors lead to front and back decks, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow. The house has three bedrooms, with the two largest opening onto the decks, providing plenty of natural light and easy outdoor access. The master bedroom connects to the tiled bathroom via a walk-through wardrobe, offering a semi-en-suite experience.

For work or leisure, the study features a large desk and high-speed WiFi. Outside, enjoy a BBQ and outdoor furniture, ideal for soaking in the peaceful surroundings and mountain views.

For larger groups, we also own a spacious 6-bedroom house located just across an empty section of land, offering additional accommodation for your stay. This nearby property provides a perfect solution for families or groups who may need more space, allowing everyone to stay close together while maintaining privacy. Both homes are within easy reach of each other, making it a convenient option for those traveling in larger parties. Feel free to inquire if you're interested in booking both properties for your group!

You’ll have the house entirely to yourselves, ensuring privacy and a relaxing stay. We’re based in Christchurch, about two hours away, but we’re always available by phone or messaging if you need assistance.

Our home is nestled near the end of the peninsula, in a peaceful and quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic—perfect for a relaxing getaway and safe for children. Enjoy being within walking distance to the beach, scenic peninsula walkways, and the seal colony. For dining, shopping, or exploring, the Kaikoura town centre is just a 5-minute drive away. It's an ideal location to unwind while staying close to local attractions and natural beauty.

A car is essential for getting around Kaikoura and fully enjoying the area. While walking to town is possible, it’s a bit of a hike, especially on the uphill return. Luckily, our property offers plenty of off-road parking, with ample space for cars, boats, or trailers, making it easy to bring everything you need for your adventure.

Your arrival will be self-check-in via a key from a secure lockbox, ensuring a smooth and flexible entry.

While we provide non-perishables like tea and coffee for your convenience, please note that milk, bread, and other perishables are not supplied, so you may want to bring those with you. Feel free to settle in and make yourselves at home!

To wake up to the mountains was a treat. Fog made it harder to find in dark but we got there in the end. Clean, spacious but only one toilet which was the only negative. Easy to pop into town and try the zipline while you are there. Next door to this house you can even get a massage. Brilliant A+A+A+

A spacious house on top of the hill with access to everything in the area. Tim was an outstanding host, the property was well stocked and tastefully decorated. The kitchen made meal preparation easy and we had access to a grill. 5 stars all the way.
