Lovely spot

Nice big house and great view of the ocean. Games room was fun, the pool table and equipment were a bit run down but we had fun still. Lots of pool comps with the family.

Weekend in Kaikoura

We flew over from Australia for a weekend in Kaikoura, fishing and diving The house was awesome, we could walk out the back and down to the beach for a cold plunge in the ocean to wake up, the house was spacious and had us entertained with games by night.we also enjoyed the fire place of an evening, the view of the ocean was a treat with dolphins and fish jumping all day

Easter weekend getaway

We booked the property several months ago to accommodate our extended family stay (6 adults, 3 kids). The property is in a very handy spot- walking distance to supermarket, beach and local shops and cafes. Plenty of parking on site and gated property ideal for dogs and small children. Some aspects of the property were more rundown than the listing photos suggest, however the property manager was responsive to our messages and our group enjoyed their stay overall.

View to reconnect

We were a group of 8, 4 adults 4kids. Bedroom layouts worked great. Living area away from bedrooms. The house was really warm. The mountain and sea view was my main reason for choosing to stay here as I grew up with the exact view, but a km up the road.

1 week of dedicated maintenance would do wonders. The walls were scuffed, furniture marked up, a hole in the wall, pool table has big cuts in it with missing cue tups, broom closet was dirty, some outlets that were present didnt work, bathrooms didnt have outlets, etc.View and location were nice, but dissappointed in what we were expecting. Place just seems run down compared to the other properties we stayed at on our trip.
