We absolutely loved our stay here. Was so quiet, so many wild birds flying around us and the view was amazing. We highly recommend this superb, unique property and we will come back longer next time.
Make sure you book ahead for dinner at Hapuku Kitchen to the Friday Supper Club. It was the best time ever.

The cottage is quite charming, with a fabulous view of the surrounding countryside as well as the ocean. We loved being able to eat in when we were too tired to go out. Craig has done a great job of providing everything needed.

This is a wonderful cottage, and perfect for a couple who want a quiet location tucked up in the foothills with a view of Kaikoura and the peninsula. Such beautiful countryside, and right next to a good loop trail hiking track in the woods. The cottage is nicely designed, well maintained, and is a very comfortable place to relax. There isn't a proper stovetop, which at first seemed a big negative; however, the hot plate suffices and we used the bar-b-que's side burner to cook lamb chops one night and steam mussels the second night. The decks off the upper level bedroom are a great place to share a glass of wine and enjoy the views ( mountain view from one deck, and ocean/peninsula view on the other). The owner, who lives nearby, is super friendly and dropped by once to make sure all was well. My wife and I hope to return in the future. Top!

Perfect weekend getaway
Amazing location, gorgeous cottage. Cosy and very comfortable. Everything you need is here and more! Fresh eggs, milk, great local coffee and lemons provided by our amazing hosts! Best time was spent sitting on the balcony enjoying coffee, bumblebees, bunnies and fan tails. My husband and I had the best sleep we have had in years! Thank you.

Romantic get away
We enjoyed stunning scenery along with a beautiful cottage with plenty of lovely touches. The mezzanine with the four poster bed was just awesome.

Amazing weekend getaway spot
For a relaxing weekend getaway, Sky Harbour is the ideal retreat. A very comfortable and tidy cottage with beautiful character. With idyllic views over the Kaikoura coastline, and the birdsong from the native bush immediately behind the cottage, there is no better way to put your feet up and relax on one of the 3 decks available to enjoy.
Thanks very much Craig, we'll be back.
