Spacious Quiet | 3BR | Decks | Wi-Fi | BBQ | Views

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as tour/ticket assistance and barbecue grills.
Grab a bite from the snack bar/deli serving guests of this vacation home.
Free self parking is available onsite.

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+

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.
