About this house rental
This lovely older house has a huge character with gardens and off-street parking. Perfect for family and friends to get together. Keep an eye out for dolphins and orca whales. This tidy quirky cottage is charming and a great place to enjoy Kaikoura, with just a few minutes walk to the shopping area and cafes.Unfortunately no children under the age of 5 due to the very steep stairs to the 2nd floor - very steep stairs to the 2nd floor.

Property had not been cleaned.
If property had been cleaned and beds made, lt would have been good value. Property managers gave upgraded accomodation at no extra cost.

Place was very basic but comfortable
The upstairs rooms are small and the steps up very steep, much care required. The garden needed attention and the leaking taps....but the view is amazing!

Junky house with a great view and location
If you care about cleanliness and functionality, this is probably not a good place for your stay. If your priorities are price, view and location, you will be happy. The house seems like it needs someone to care about it and come clear the spider webs and clean the grease off of things. The toilet is separate from the sink and shower by 2 rooms and in essentially added into the garage in a dark room with a concrete floor that is “padded” by 3 worn out plastic exterior floor mats. There were 2 empty rolls of toilet paper on the floor in the bathroom when we arrived and only 1 roll of TP to last us through our stay. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are up a steep ladder in the garage and get very hot. We ended up not using them because no one wanted to navigate the ladder at night so we had our son stay downstairs with us. The pans were dirty and had to be washed before use and the stove was filthy and one of the burners didn’t work.
We booked this place last minute when there were no other places to stay otherwise we would have chosen differently. That said, the location and view are excellent. We did notice some noise from on of the restaurants on Saturday night but with the windows closed we couldn’t hear it. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but this place was pretty junky.

Great location close to town
Clean and tidy in a good central location with just a short walk to the main street. Well maintained older house with off street parking, garaging and a decent size section. Good value for money in this part of town with fantastic sea views.

Stunning view and a lovely garden

Great Kiwi Bach experience
If you know what to expect you will really enjoy this place. Spectacular views, quirky Kiwi style Bach. Kitchen old , from a bygone era, but operational. Make sure you get linen service. Downstairs Master Queen bed comfortable. Up the stairs, well more like a ladder reallly, there are 3 single beds. Only one toilet off the laundry.
Very well situated just above the town, with great walking paths to foreshore.
Good value for money.

Stunning location
This charming art deco bach has the most beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. We could walk into the township in minutes.
4 points to address;
1. Gully traps to the rear were overflowing
]2. The oven didn't function for grilling or baking. Elements were fine
3. 3-4 windows had no latches to secure them.
4. The kitchen sink plug leaked

Great location but unfortunately was cold and not very well appointed.
Great location but unfortunately was cold and not very well appointed. Provided bedding as in duvets were inadequate for the season and heaters in bedrooms did not work. Just a few simple touches would make this property a lot more appealing but as it is would not recommend.

While the bach was quite basic, it was kind of as expected.
While the bach was quite basic, it was kind of as expected. The bach could have been outfitted more with cleaning cloths, salt/pepper, oil etc. just to make it easier to feel homely in the place. The location is ideal being right in town

Location excellent.
Location excellent. Kitchen and toilet let the property down. Just putting an effective insect screen over the window in the toilet would make a lot of difference.

The location and view were amazing.
The location and view were amazing. The property was not up to standard. Pillows not up to par. Oven needs cleaned. Fridge, toaster and kettle great. Chipped plates are not a good look.
