Everything you could ever want is here :) It was all so neat and tidy. It is a lovely, quiet location. To open up the curtains in the morning to the ocean and the Southern Alps is just breathtaking, not to mention seeing dolphins in the bay as well. It was a shame to have to go home and we would definitely want to stay here should we ever be down that way again. An absolutely amazing place to stay :)

What a beautiful spot, we loved watching the whales and dolphins from the deck and even from the couch! House was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We loved being on the quiet side of Kaikoura with the peninsula walk a few minutes away. Gail was very accomodating and only a phone call away. Fantastic 10/10

This property has everything. The views are fantastic. There are books to read, furniture is comfortable. Beds are comfortable. So clean. You can sit, rest and day dream while looking at those gorgeous views, go for a stroll down main street or do one or more of the activities available to you. The seafood in this area is excellent. I would come back here in a heartbeat. The owner of the house was a phone call away and was very helpful. I can't say enough about this place. Thank you Gail.

Perfect wee spot

Perfect wee spot

This is a really lovely wee bach in prime positioning in South Bay. The hosts were very attentive leading up to and the day we arrived to ensure we had all the information we needed. Not often you find a place that you can bring the dog along too so were very grateful to have a well fenced section and have the freedom to leave the dog there if we needed to. We would very happily stay again, thanks :)

Beautiful quiet location.

We were super happy with the property and the location. Amazing views of the bay and mountains. The Bach has everything you need for a comfy stay. It’s a lovely walk through the reserve to get into town, or a quick drive has you there in a few minutes. Really couldn’t fault our stay. Kaikoura is a beautiful town and everyone there was super friendly.

Perfect Spot and Lovely Cottage

Perfect Spot and Lovely Cottage

Kaikoura encompasses all the beauty of New Zealand - rolling green hills, gorgeous farmland, beautiful beaches and snow-capped mountains. This cottage was the perfect spot to enjoy it. Clean, great views, great location, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, lots of extra touches - soft sheets and pillowcases, heat lamp in shower room, blankets for staying warm on the spacious deck. You can tell this is a home as well as a rental property. We were so comfortable and relaxed staying here. Thank you!

We loved our stay from the first to last minute. The bach has everything you need, it´s very clean and we were greated with lovely flowers. The views are amazing, we even saw dolphins in the distance from the deck. Great walking to the seal colony and having kayaks to use and lifewests in different sizes was fantastic. Thanks so much!

This place was amazing and the description and photo doesn't do it justice!! Wonderfully clean, tidy and well presented. Plenty of room and all that one needs. And as for the outside - right across the road from the beach and a beautiful view. We didn't want to leave and could easily live at this place! Will definitely be back one day. The best holiday home I've ever stayed in ??

The cottage was absolutely lovely and exactly as the photos showed! We struck rain for our stay but it certainly didn't dampen our experience one bit as we just wanted a place to relax and unwind in and the cottage ensured both of those requests! The view is stunning and I will certainly be passing on this place to friends and family and I am looking forward to booking it again for some summertime fun! Thanks again Gail we will be back!

What a great place! Nearly on the waters' edge and views out to die for. The cottage is squeaky clean and is equipped with everything that one would need( like being at home really). We went on the tour to see the whales-- rather bumpy( suggest sea sick tablets!). The sea looked really calm went we set out but was really choppy out at sea. We did manage to see the whales which was a bonus so highly recommend it.
