Hapuku pet-friendly rentals

This is a cute little cottage set on a hill with great views. It was well appointed with a great bbq but as set away from town (in a good way) be sure to bring all your food with you. The cabin had seasonings and olive oil for cooking. The outdoor bath a highlight. I was a warm day and given the orientation the western sun had warmed up the cabin a bit but the aircon soon cooled it down.

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!

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.

A very comfortable well equipped cottage, with million dollar views.

Great little house. Had everything as stated. Very comfortable beds and nice outside furniture to relax in as well. Very quiet South Bay. Kaikoura has recovered beautifully.

The perfect Kaikoura view and the home has all of the comforts you need to keep you there admiring the view. A great place to stay

A delightful place that compliments the beauty of the location, she is so friendly also.

Lovely spot to spend a few days in the Kaikoura region. Perfectly appointed with everything we needed. Thanks for being such a great host, Tom. We’ll return as soon as the wind blows us back across the Tasman!
