Perched well to enjoy some lovely views over Kaiteriteri beach and the bay is where you'll find Beach House on the Ridge.
This classic kiwi bach has open plan living, ideal for an easy summer escape, with a kitchen equipped with all the essentials. The decking surrounds most of the house so no matter the time of day you'll be able to catch some fresh air and sunshine. Both bedrooms are fitted with queen beds.
Make the most of the location as you will be just a 4-minute walk from Little Kaiteriteri beach, a less than a 10mins walk to the local store, cafes and bars. Visit the numerous vineyards and wineries, potters, sculptors, carvers and artists for which the Nelson-Tasman region is very well known.
Excellent brown trout fishing is available in either Riwaka River (6 km) or Motueka River (11 km) as well as in the numerous rivers of Golden Bay. The spectacular limestone caves on the Takaka Hill are worth visiting on a day trip. Kayaks and sailboats can be rented on the Kaiteriteri beach, and guided kayak trips into Abel Tasman National Park can also be arranged.
Beach House on the Ridge is a warm and welcoming holiday home waiting to host your next trip to Kaiteriteri. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
We had to properly clean the apartment before we were able to use it. The kitchen was sticky, lots of dead bugs, disgusting smell.
What a pity - the location and the apartment would be perfect with someone paying more attention to it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear that the apartment wasn’t properly cleaned when you arrived—that is certainly not the standard we expect for our guests. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have to clean before you could even start enjoying your stay.
The sticky kitchen, bugs, and unpleasant smell are absolutely unacceptable, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused. I will be addressing these issues with our cleaning team right away to ensure that the apartment is thoroughly cleaned and fully ready for guests upon arrival in the future.
I’m glad to hear that the location and the apartment itself had potential, and I’ll be working to improve the overall cleanliness and maintenance to make sure that future guests have the experience they expect and deserve.
Your feedback is invaluable, and I appreciate you bringing these issues to my attention. I truly hope you were still able to enjoy some aspects of your stay, and I hope to have the chance to welcome you back once these issues are resolved.
Disappointing Stay: Cockroaches, Outdated Amenities, and Privacy Concerns
Our stay at this property in Kerikeri was disappointing and fell far short of expectations. The house is extremely dated, with a kitchen and bathroom that look like they haven’t been updated since the 1970s. On top of that, the cleanliness was subpar—we encountered two cockroaches during our stay, which was unsettling and completely ruined our experience.Adding to our discomfort, a laundry basket suddenly appeared inside the house after we had been out for the day. This means someone entered the rental without notifying us in advance, which felt like an invasion of our privacy.The steep and narrow driveway was another major challenge. It’s lined with sharp bushes, and maneuvering our car out was nerve-wracking—we nearly scratched it multiple times.Overall, this property was far from the relaxing stay we had hoped for. With the outdated amenities, lack of cleanliness, and privacy concerns, I cannot recommend it to others.

The location of this property was fabulous. A short walk to both Little Kaiteriteri and Kaiteriteri beaches. Clean and comfortable. The only negative was the house creaked - a lot! Sounded like someone was walking around the house during the night. Fine if you are a heavy sleeper.
Very suitable for a group of 2-4 people. A short walk to the beach and shops. We were here in Winter and appreciated the heaters which adequately heated the house. Would stay again.
Lovely property, well located and easy to get to the beach. Bachcare put a lot of emphasis on cleaning over providing other information about the area. Unfortunately the property wasn't particularly clean on our arrival. We had booked a check out clean but had we actually cleaned the property to the standard requested by Bachcare in the information left in the property we would have been leaving it cleaner than when we found it!
Great location, being a lovely wee walk to the beach and into Kaiteriteri for a meal. Also, the property manager Diane was a delight to deal with. Thanks a lot and will be back!
