When we saw this property on Stayz we loved how it looked, but once we arrived it was so much more. Jessica was very responsive & helpful, and when we arrived the house was warm & welcoming with fresh eggs in the fridge & flowers in every room. The setting the cottage is in is just stunning. Would recommend this little piece of heaven to anyone

Flowers in every room, fresh eggs and herbs as well as an invitation to pick what was available from the garden. Also a well stocked pantry with teas, spices, and the cookware needed to stay put and make a nice meal while enjoying the views and comfy accommodations. Jessica is incredibly welcoming and has thought of all the things a traveler might need or want.

Wonderful location and Jessica is a model host.

The Kincaid Cottage and hosts Jessica and Greg were the highlight of our return visit to the Kaikoura area. Jessica was immediately in contact upon our booking, offering local tips about dinner reservations and attractions, and promptly answered all our questions. The self-contained cottage itself is outfitted with luxury linens, fully equipped kitchen and well-stocked pantry. It is perfect for the independent traveler, and offered a spectacular view of the snow-capped Southern Alps on one side and the coast on the other. We immediately noticed all the extra touches - fresh lavender tucked into the towels, fresh flowers on the window sills, eco-friendly products and convenient recycling bins. Even a jar of freshly cut herbs from the kitchen garden. This was our +/- 24th trip to the South Island - a convergence of old friends that was made even more memorable by our stay at the lovely cottage and its surrounding fields. We hope to be back very soon! - Nicole, David & Dorothy

My partner and I had such a relaxing stay- Jessica really had thought of absolutely everything to make our visit want for nothing, from fresh flowers and herbs from the garden, to a range of books and DVDs, to lots of info about the local area and all sort of games. Everything was beautifully presented and the house itself is in a stunning location. Thank you for a fantastic end to our Summer holiday, we couldn’t have asked for more, and we hope to be back again soon.

Wonderful cottage in a quiet setting. Beautiful farm, v easy to get to and access local walks and township. Highly recommend

The property, the views absolutely stunning 😍. Jess is very customer focused, no detail is overlooked to give the customer an amazing experience and she really delivers on all counts. Would strongly recommend you will not be disappointed. We look forward to our next stay thank you so much 💓

Our stay here was absolutely magical. The cottage is stunning and Jessie the most amazing host. Arriving was so fun as we discovered all the special wee surprises she had left for us. Fresh flowers in all the rooms, chocolate and free range eggs in the fridge, the most amazing tea collection and so many cool surprises for kids. Us adults loved feeding the hippy sheep and bossy goat! The cottage was immaculate and warm and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend waking early for the sunrise. The beds very comfortable and the master bedroom was so luxurious with an ensuite, walk in wardrobe, beautiful cast iron and brass bed and French doors with views to the snow cap mountains. This cottage would suit a romantic getaway, girls weekend, family holiday or something special like a wedding. We can not recommend it enough and can not wait until we can stay again.

A great place away to have peace and quiet, lovely sea and mountain views, and set in a nice garden. The cottage was cozy and comfortable and Jessica had left little treats for us. She was a great host. Handy to all Kaikoura has to offer.

This luxurious 5 star property is situated in a dream location at the foothills of the snowy Kaikoura ranges and with the dramatic expanse of the Pacific Ocean in front of you. This luxurious property is large, well appointed with the interior décor warm and upscale with very comfortable beds and sensational mountain/sea views from each room. Our hosts Jessie, Greg and Annie(daughter) were very friendly, warm and such a pleasure to deal with. Lots of personal touches such as fresh flowers in every room and a well stocked kitchen along with an amazing collection of fresh herbs and fresh farm eggs. Also on the property are a Tennis court, Petanque Court for guest use and three very friendly pet farm animals whom my 5 year old daughter very much enjoyed feeding. Our plans are to return as much as possible. Such peace and tranquility!

Highly recommend

Kincaid Cottage, was the BEST bach we have ever rented... the combination of a beautiful location, a great property, and an amazing host made this a perfect getaway. Thanks Jessie and Greg.

We had such a nice time. Great attention to detail, and a real effort to make sure we enjoyed all the area has to offer. We really loved it.

This was a little gem stay, not too far off to the side of the main state highway and not too far to enjoy all activities we loved, fishing, boating, hiking, biking and of course a little shopping. It was a bonus that we could also play some tennis and enjoy a farm outlook with a wonderful view of the mountains. The little touches in the house, with fresh garden cut flowers and herbs were delightful and the host Jessica was very welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. We will be back!

Thank you Jessie, we had a very lovely relaxing stay at your beautiful cottage, we loved everything about it! Thank you for making us so welcome on arrival , we will be back again

We loved our stay at Kincaid Cottage. I have high standards and have stayed in accommodation all over NZ. This property would possibly be the best of its type. Faultlessly clean for one thing plus everything had been thought of, from beautifully presented rooms down to the fresh eggs provided in the fridge. It was wonderful to have a few days on our trip with more space for our family to spread out. Our daughter loved trying her hand at tennis and we all loved the array of DVDs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kincaid Cottage to friends and family and we hope to return one day. Thank you Jessie and family for making us so welcome.

Lovely cottage with everything you could need and the owners were fantastic and really helpful

Kind warm beautiful stay. The house is immaculate everything thought of . Private organised very relaxing . We appreciated all the touches, fresh eggs, milk and fresh flowers. Divine . Thanks Jessica . Oh the views

The Hapuku cottage is well placed in a beautiful setting with backdrop commanding mountain views from the front and claiming sea views to the sides of the kitchen. All within 10 mins to the CBD with full access to cafes, supermarkets and sweeping coastal sea views along the Esplanade whether you want to have a picnic while looking at the mountains or going for a nice walk to see furry seals...

Gorgeous cottage with views to the mountains and the sea. Jessica was the most welcoming host. The cottage was spotless and came with everything we needed for the perfect retreat at the end of the day exploring Kaikoura and surrounds. Thank you, thank you, thankyou.

What a lovely place to stay at for a couple of days. The mountain views are amazing. The home is so lovely with every detail thought about. We highly recommend this place to stay 10/10

The location is perfect. The sea on one side & mtns on the other. Warm & comfortable as we decided each day what to do or where to go. Nearby beach Hapuku all to ourselves until moon came up, checking out the seal pups & fishing. The view from our room was stunning & I could have stayed in happily relaxing. Fresh eggs each day from the spice girls was a bonus. A real treat.

'Einfach traumhaft!!!' Beautiful house and more than well equipped :-) Very child friendly - our daughter loved to play with all the toys :-) Close to the city centre and also close to the surf spots. Thanks to Jessica for everything :-)

The house is excellent an I would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing nest.
