A quiet place to stay with stunning mountain views
A lovely place to stay in Kaikōura with mountain views, all day sun and a private deck. Not even a 5 minute drive to town center. It is the 3rd house down a private lane, parking right by the house. Large open plan living area and good sized bedrooms. West boundary is a peaceful creek (be aware of this if you have children). A great heat pump and additional big log burner will keep you warm during the winter months with a heat distribution system to keep you warm in the bedrooms. No WiFi sorry!

Cottage in Hundalee
Moa Cottage - come and relax beside the sea
Claverley is a unique spot set alongside the natural coastline of this region. Dolphins, seals and the odd whale frequent the area. Moa cottage offers somewhere to relax and unwind while listening to the ever changing sea sounds and the local native birds. Our cottage is comfortable with all the necessities (laundry, dishwasher etc) so you can enjoy your stay. Although there is no wifi, cell phone coverage is good considering the remoteness so you are able to hotspot off your phone.
