Fantastic people to deal with. The perfect location to base yourself for a fishing weekend or longer. If the weather isn't up to fishing the property is a lovely space to relax. Really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back again.

Kia ora one and all. I found Mark & Heather's wee bach a really lovely place to stay, and it had everything I needed, or wanted. Given, that I had temporarily fled my home, due to ongoing threats & intimidation from my neighbour (Police involved), I slept well and felt safe for the first time in many, many weeks. I just wish I could have afforded to stay longer. Never mind the time I spent here was such a blessing = lovely walks to the beach and 'hunkering down' when it rained. Close to town for movies, extra food and good coffee, were added bonuses. Thanks Heather and Mark for providing such a lovely safe house to rest & recuperate. Ngā Mihi Nui/Kindest Regards Sharon C

A great little property with everything you need. Clean and tidy and well presented. Only a couple of things were not 100% - this being not all stove elements worked, also the sleep-out door would not lock from inside but would happily stay again. Thanks!

Really appreciate the opportunity to rent this bach.... thanks owners! Excellent communication with owners prior to our getaway. Very pleased that the house was very clean. It's quite small, so we had to stash our food bags on the floor of the lounge. Perfect position to walk to the jetty, to fish off the rocks and to do the peninsula walk. Loved our time there.

We loved this little bach

The Bach had everything we needed and the location is great. We thought it was best for a family with two adults maximum as most adults wouldn’t want to sleep in the sleep out. We had three adults and used the sofa bed In the cottage but thought it wasn't the most comfortable.

Cute, cosy and sunny spot

Cute, cosy and sunny spot

Lovely little spot, authentically 'bachy' but with a comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower! So nice sitting in the sun in the afternoon/evenings on the verandah and being able to walk a couple of minutes to the ocean and watch the sunset. Loved the birds in the Pohutukawa too.

This is a great little bach in a great location. Close to everything - coast, mountains, shops, etc - yet far enough away to still be away from it all. Highly recommended.

Fantastic stay, great neighbourhood

Fantastic stay, great neighbourhood

We had a great stay at Heather and Mark's. It was perfect for our needs--two young children--allowing for frequent walks to a playground, the South Bay wharf, and the beach, which were only a few minutes walk away. The wharf where Whale Watch Kaikoura launches from is only a couple of minutes walk away, and we were able to walk home from the launch without having to go back into town (be sure to call Whale Watch Kaikoura ahead of time to let them know these are your plans!). There was a fence to the driveway that allowed us to bound off the road and the let the kids run around without worrying. The tree swing and basket of toys were a lovely surprise that the kids appreciated. The property was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. The BBQ was ready to go and easy to use. Heather and Mark were great communicators and their instructions for accessing the property and places to visit in the area were very clear. We will definitely try to stay here again if we make it back to Kaikoura.
