We had a lovely stay in this little Bach. Beautiful views and a great holiday feel. The beds were very comfortable! Kitchen was amazing - enjoyed the gas hob and the dishwasher.

Perfect location for our needs, with the added bonus of a stunningly beautiful view & lots of action to see with the boats coming & going.

A magical spot to get away with family to relax and recharge. We loved the view and watching the seals and dolphins each day. Nice and close to Kaikōura for food and coffee and biking.

Had heaps of space for just us two, the fireplace was really nice for a rainy day! Unfortunately couldn't walk around the backyard so we'll just have to come back. Thanks for hosting Lou and Rochelle

Such a lovely stay! Location was perfect and walk along the beach was beautiful. Short drive into the town centre which had great food selection. Accommodation was modern and clean. Comfy bed and just a great vibe overall.

Loved all the charm of this place. Starting up the generator for a couple of hours was breeze. Didn’t love the idea of the sawdust toilet, but everything was super clean and sanitary. loved the tub. Beautiful clear night with lots of stars. Nice happy night for us here

VanessaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fiona was so welcoming and friendly. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous - just as in the photos. A really special and beautiful home in the most amazing location - literally across the road from the beach. The apartment was filled with welcoming and thoughtful gestures including Easter eggs and hot cross buns, as well as fruit, milk and bread (on top of a well-stocked pantry). Would highly recommend and would love to return.

5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsThe Factory Kaikoura Luxury Accommodation
Christina Joy VennaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved staying here. Sean and Skip have done a wonderful job restoring the factory to make it super comfortable, including under floor heating and indoor fire for cold wintery days. It's just across the road from the beach and we opened the windows at night and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep. Sean took time with us on arrival to show us all the things about the house and was super responsive to a query we had after that. We loved the outdoor fire pit (and the super sized marshmallows for toasting!) and sitting in the spa looking at the stars was beautiful. We didn't realise that there are two parts to the factory and that they can be joined together for a larger group, but appreciate that Sean and Skip only ever book one side (or it as a whole) at a time so you aren't sharing it with strangers. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This little gem was in a great location, close to the beach and walking distance into town, coffee shops and restaurants. It was peaceful, being down a little driveway and overlooking a beautiful garden, but you can still hear the ocean. The place was neat, clean, warm and perfect for the two of us. We met Kevin who was informative, friendly and welcoming. It was perfect for a weekend away for some relaxing and exploring the area. Hope to be back soon…we did not want to leave!
