Beautiful cozy holiday house!

Wish we could have stayed longer - Carol's holiday house has everything, and was beautiful. Carol was also great to deal with and stayed in touch throughout our stay. We would love to stay there again!

Hi sorry about the need to dispose of your rubbish but because Peketa is a rural area we have no rubbish pickup service like we have in rhe city and I am 2 1/2 hours away so its not realistic for me to dispose of it each time. But glad you enjoyed your visit and thanks for helping me out with parcel courier

Lovely stay in a quiet location

My partner and I enjoyed a very relaxing weekend in Peketa. We chose the cottage as a base for visiting Kaikōura as we wanted a nice private, quiet space. It was perfect for us. Well equipped, comfy and warm. We’d definitely stay again.

So peaceful!

A lovely house and very serene back yard. We loved having the peaceful outdoor space after three weeks in hotels. Conveniently close to town. Would stay there again except for longer.
