About this house rental
Comfortable, modern holiday house with mountain views in a quiet cul-de-sac on the peninsula, between South Bay & the town side. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the town side, yet only a short drive to anywhere in Kaikoura. There are decks at the front & back of the house and a great indoor/outdoor flow.
The house has most conveniences, with a great kitchen, bean-to-cup espresso machine, comfortable beds & furniture, WIFI, Chromecast, & plenty of off-street parking.
This is a very comfortable, modern holiday house with most conveniences.
The main living area combines a full-sized kitchen, dining & lounge. While you prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, the other guests can gather around the granite-topped island & join in. The kitchen has a built in oven, ceramic hob, extractor & microwave. The dishwasher & dual sink are built into the central island. The pantry has a decent supply of plates, cups & glasses etc. We've recently installed a fully automatic espresso machine.
There's a 6 place dining table & the lounge features a large comfortable leather lounge suite. We've got a 55" TV with Netflix & FreeView. You can bring movies on a USB stick & plug them into the TV. You can connect your mobile device to the bluetooth speaker (a Bose SoundLink Mini II) for music.
Sliding doors open out to the front & back decks. The two biggest bedrooms & the study also open to decks.
The bathroom has a sliding door providing access from the master bedroom through the walk-through wardrobe. So it's almost an en-suite. The bathroom has a proper tile and glass shower.
If you want to combine a bit of work with pleasure, the study has a decent sized desk. You can connect to the Internet via wireless or cable.
There is also a fold-up bed if needed.

You will have the house to yourselves - we will be 2 hours away in Christchurch. However, our neighbours in Kaikoura will have your details and will be able to assist in an emergency.
We are located almost at the end of the peninsula, up top. There's no through traffic, so it's lovely & quiet. It's within walking distance to the beach, the peninsula walkways, the seal colony & 5 minutes drive from the town centre.
You really need to have a car to get around Kaikoura - we really are not within walking distance of town (it is possible, but it's a bit of a hike uphill). We have heaps of off-road parking for cars and boats.
There won't be anyone to greet you on arrival - entry is by key that you will retrieve from a lock-box.
Also, while there are non-perishables such as tea & coffee, we don't supply milk, bread etc.

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+

Cute little town. Really enjoyed our stay here- the bach was very spacious and had a lovely modern bathroom and kitchen. Gardens surrounding were nice too. Gorgeous views of mountain from most of the windows. Felt so relaxing to stay here. Thanks for having us!

Excellent stay for our group of three adults. Home was in a quiet neighborhood with all our events, tours and dining a 5 min drive down into town. Excellent host. Great communication and best home guide I have ever seen for a property. Would highly recommend. Lots of rooms and great outdoor spaces also

The house is very nice and clean, and we like the kitchen. We had what we needed. My daughter likes the yard, where she can play outside. Tim is a very good host and was quick to respond to our inquiry.

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.

The house was modern, well equipped, warm and in a great location on the peninsula and just 5 mins drive from the town. Nothing to do with Tim or the house but for the first half of 2018 I would encourage anyone to check the state of roadworks following the earthquake where an enormous rebuilding is coming to a close. The road closed at 7.30pm and a delayed flight meant we only just got through. Well worth the effort, just check the state of roadworks, which are an impressive sight in themselves

It rained the entire two days we spent at Tim’s place but we didn’t have too much trouble staying entertained indoors. The bedroom heat wasn’t the greatest but the living room heater worked pretty well.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with lovely views of the Kaikoura Ranges; plenty of room, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Sunny outdoor spaces and a good spot to start a loop walk around the Kaikoura Peninsula walk (which is a "must do" when one visits the area). Had a great visit with this property as the base of operations.

We stayed for 2 nights in Tim’s amazing property! The house was clean and full of amenities. Quietly situated only 5minutes from the town, we enjoyed the amazing views of Kaikoura. I highly recommend Tim’s house if you are staying in Kaikoura, and works very well with 2 families with kids or 6 adults.

Wonderful views of Kaikoura Mountains. Very quiet and sunny home. We had a family weekend there and celebrated my father's 88th birthday. The place was fabulous as was the massage lady next door. Maaike gave 3 of us amazing relaxation massages. We would love to come back.
