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

This modern holiday home is designed for comfort and convenience, offering everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The open-plan living area includes a fully equipped kitchen with a built-in oven, ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, and a granite-topped island. Gather around the island or enjoy fresh coffee from the bean-to-cup espresso machine while preparing meals. The dining area seats six, and the lounge features a leather suite, 55" TV with Netflix, and a Bose SoundLink Mini II Bluetooth speaker.

Sliding doors lead to front and back decks, creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow. The house has three bedrooms, with the two largest opening onto the decks, providing plenty of natural light and easy outdoor access. The master bedroom connects to the tiled bathroom via a walk-through wardrobe, offering a semi-en-suite experience.

For work or leisure, the study features a large desk and high-speed WiFi. Outside, enjoy a BBQ and outdoor furniture, ideal for soaking in the peaceful surroundings and mountain views.

For larger groups, we also own a spacious 6-bedroom house located just across an empty section of land, offering additional accommodation for your stay. This nearby property provides a perfect solution for families or groups who may need more space, allowing everyone to stay close together while maintaining privacy. Both homes are within easy reach of each other, making it a convenient option for those traveling in larger parties. Feel free to inquire if you're interested in booking both properties for your group!

Key Features:
✔ Fully equipped kitchen with espresso machine
✔ Open-plan living with leather lounge & 55" TV
✔ 3 bedrooms, 2 with deck access
✔ Decks front & back with outdoor furniture
✔ BBQ for al fresco dining
✔ Modern tiled bathroom with semi-en-suite access

You’ll have the house entirely to yourselves, ensuring privacy and a relaxing stay. We’re based in Christchurch, about two hours away, but we’re always available by phone or messaging if you need assistance.

Our home is nestled near the end of the peninsula, in a peaceful and quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic—perfect for a relaxing getaway and safe for children. Enjoy being within walking distance to the beach, scenic peninsula walkways, and the seal colony. For dining, shopping, or exploring, the Kaikoura town centre is just a 5-minute drive away. It's an ideal location to unwind while staying close to local attractions and natural beauty.

A car is essential for getting around Kaikoura and fully enjoying the area. While walking to town is possible, it’s a bit of a hike, especially on the uphill return. Luckily, our property offers plenty of off-road parking, with ample space for cars, boats, or trailers, making it easy to bring everything you need for your adventure.

Your arrival will be self-check-in via a key from a secure lockbox, ensuring a smooth and flexible entry.

While we provide non-perishables like tea and coffee for your convenience, please note that milk, bread, and other perishables are not supplied, so you may want to bring those with you. Feel free to settle in and make yourselves at home!

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

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.

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!

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

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.
