Kaikoura, Canterbury, New Zealand
Relaxing Kaikoura Home with BBQ & Mountain Views
Comfortable, modern holiday house with mountain views in a quiet cul-de-sac on the peninsula, between South Bay & the town side. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the town side, yet only a short drive to anywhere in Kaikoura. There are decks at the front & back of the house and a great indoor/outdoor flow. The house has most conveniences, with a great kitchen, bean-to-cup espresso machine, comfortable beds & furniture, WIFI, Chromecast, & plenty of off-street parking.
Good to know
This is a very comfortable, modern holiday house with most conveniences. The main living area combines a full-sized kitchen, dining & lounge. While you prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, the other guests can gather around the granite-topped island & join in. The kitchen has a built in oven, ceramic hob, extractor & microwave. The dishwasher & dual sink are built into the central island. The pantry has a decent supply of plates, cups & glasses etc. We've recently installed a fully automatic espresso machine. There's a 6 place dining table & the lounge features a large comfortable leather lounge suite. We've got a 55" TV with Netflix & FreeView. You can bring movies on a USB stick & plug them into the TV. You can connect your mobile device to the bluetooth speaker (a Bose SoundLink Mini II) for music. Sliding doors open out to the front & back decks. The two biggest bedrooms & the study also open to decks. The bathroom has a sliding door providing access from the master bedroom through the walk-through wardrobe. So it's almost an en-suite. The bathroom has a proper tile and glass shower. If you want to combine a bit of work with pleasure, the study has a decent sized desk. You can connect to the Internet via wireless or cable. There is also a fold-up bed if needed. ✔ Fully equipped kitchen ✔ Dishwasher ✔ Automatic Espresso (bean to cup) ✔ Dining table for 6 ✔ Leather lounge suite ✔ 55" TV ✔ Netflix ✔ Bose SoundLink Mini II ✔ Wifi (fibre) ✔ Decks front & back ✔ 1 king & 2 queen beds ✔ Large tiled shower ✔ Large study with desk ✔ BBQ ✔ Outside furniture ✔ 3 bedrooms, 2 of which open to a deck ✔ Plenty of off-street parking
House Rules
No shoes inside. We clean after you, but we do expect you to leave the place reasonably tidy, with the dishwasher on. If you use the oven or BBQ, please leave them clean.
Other Details to Note

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
We are located almost at the end of the peninsula, up top. There's no through traffic, so it's lovely & quiet. It's within walking distance to the beach, the peninsula walkways, the seal colony & 5 minutes drive from the town centre.
Guest Access
You will be able to access everything. Additionally, we own the mostly empty section next door. You are welcome to park on it provided the ground isn't too soft (unlikely to be a concern in the summer). This is a great place to park boats, and for children to play. Note that any guests staying at No 2 will be getting the same advice, so you may need to share. It's worth noting that there are some shipping containers at the rear of this section. One is mine, and the others belong to our neighbour, who owns Hunting & Fishing. You may see people access these containers occasionally. And naturally there's parking on the street.
Reviews
Find us
We recommend having a car to get around Kaikoura - you can walk into town but it's a bit of an expedition and uphill on return. We have heaps of off-road parking for cars and boats.
