Kaikoura Costal Escape

What a delightful property the Red House is! 15 mins from Kaikoura and just a few steps from a wild, and pretty much deserted beach. The property was the perfect blend of comfort and convenience with thoughtful and imaginative styling. It felt cosy and traditional while having modern facilities to make your stay as stress-free as possible. A real gem that we will definitely be coming back to!

lovely view, comfortable, very old fashioned

The views of the water and mountains from the deck were fabulous. Comfortable rooms and bed. We had not expected the low level of tech - no wifi, no television. There is a television set but it does not work for broadcast or pay TV, only plays DVDs. Other appliances came from last century. This is according to the guide in the living room traditional for a NZ batch. Lots of rules and instructions - felt like going back to way things ran in the 1960s. Some, like "take your rubbish and recycling home with you", are really not appropriate for international guests. This property would probably work fine for kiwis who want a nostalgic family experience. Hosts were considerate and nice, communicated well, but appeared out of their depth.

Excellent property

Set below the snow capped mountains, birds and sheep to watch with a cuppa, the warmth of the straw bale home, this home is a awesome base for a kaikoura stay. Be sure to ask Hamish to cook you a smoked lamb shank dinner and a fish curry…beautiful food. We hiked the headland and the beach with the seals, did a whale watch tour, drove to hamner springs, highly recommend this lovely stay, the double day bed is the best seat in the house. Thank you for sharing your house built with such passion Hamish.
