Muritai, Sea breeze and ocean to mountain views

JennyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Warrick's place was a true godsend, for what we needed, as a couple, escaping Christchurch, for a quiet 5 days away. Autumn was a great time to stay, with the 2 storey home being warmed quickly during the day by the sun, and cooling down quickly at night. It was helpful, finding out that there was a studio apartment below the house, that could be occupied, during your stay, thus necessitating that we pay extra for that, to be unoccupied.....obviously, unless you enjoy, sharing... The request to take our rubbish with us, when we pay a cleaning fee, was, well...but, the rubbish receivers were just down the road....We shall certainly want to return. Please, clean the windows.

Thank you Lynette, we really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect spot to watch the sea and easy walking into town. The apartment was super clean and was well equipped for our stay over the Easter weekend. We would be more than happy to come and stay again.

Clifftop Cabins Kaikoura - Fyffe

KatieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved our stay at the gorgeous Clifftop Cabins in Kaikoura. Even though the weather wasn’t great, it was so nice to get cosy in the cabin and take in the views! We also enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen. Highly recommend!!

'The Kaikoura' - Stylish, Elegant, Essential!

CraigRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

A fantastic stay at this beautiful property by the beach in Kaikoura. We had rain throughout our stay, so couldn’t enjoy the lovely outside table and grill, but we did enjoy the fireplace and lovely kitchen. Beds were comfy too. Great stay.

Home in Hapuku

A Magical place to relax and unwind.

SarahRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home, surrounded by stunning mountains on one side and views to the ocean on the other. The house is clean, well maintained and has everything you need. It’s very private and peaceful but also feels safe and it’s close to town and local attractions. We just loved the neighbouring cows, sheep and goats and enjoyed the heated outdoor area. We also appreciated the fireplace which kept the house very warm and cozy! Sarah is a lovely host who lives nearby, she greeted us on arrival and checked in on us when the weather got wild to make sure we were ok and had everything we needed. Excellent communication and easy self check in. We really hope to return again someday, highly recommend!

Guesthouse in Kaikōura

The Murrays

BrianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

A wonderfully quiet space, in a peaceful location. Great to have breakfast provisions provided. The space was surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Kaikoura and everything in the area, was literally just a short drive away. Would recommend this home away from home accommodation and wouldn't hesitate to book again

A beautiful home located overlooking stunning views of Kaikoura. Sunrise views were priceless and you just want to spend time sitting on the balcony overlooking the water and mountains. The studio is well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tania!

Home in South Bay

Spacious in South Bay

PaulineRating, 5 stars1 month ago

A perfect house for 6 to share and a wonderful location for a biking adventure in Kaikoura. We were able to bike from the house to join the Kaikoura cycle trail. The house was very comfortable and warm with great views. It is a quick 5 minute drive to town for a lovely dinner at The Pier Hotel. I would highly recommend a stay at Leo’s in South Bay.

This was truly one of the best Airbnb we’ve ever experienced. Amanda’s house was exceptionally well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, making our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, and the hot tub was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!!

A quiet place to stay with stunning mountain views

ClaireRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This beautiful home exceeded our expectations. So open and spacious and the view to the mountains was spectacular. We enjoyed the lovely bath tub and was great to have a washing machine. No wifi, no problem. We read out on the deck listening to the ducks play in the little stream. Would highly recommend 😊

Pink Palace , South Bay Kaikoura

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a great stay at the Pink Palace. The house was very clean and tidy, and had so many thoughtful touches to make it the best home away from home. We travelled as a family and it was the perfect set up. We will be back for sure!

Kaikoura Rustic Retreat in Goose Bay

GavinRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Charming rustic kiwiana bach with a unique character. Perfect for those looking to unplug and simply relax. Don’t expect a lot of activities nearby—it’s all about unwinding and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Paul, the host, was brilliant—easygoing and always close by if needed. A cozy spot to recharge.
