Mangamaunu Cottage

MelissaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We loved this cosy little cottage, super warm and welcoming, the little touches like having the heater on ahead of our arrival was lovely. Delightful fire place and furnishings, incredible views and amazing location particularly as surfers we could check the conditions from right near the cottage. A gorgeous little place - can highly recommend!

A quiet place to stay with stunning mountain views

SkeeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very spacious home with everything we needed. Spectacular mountain views made even more stunning by the snow that fell during the first night we were there. Great to have wood stove which we used the first morning we awoke because the temperature had dipped to 12c! Lots of extra blankets in the hall cupboard for which we were most grateful. Too bad we booked only two nights - certainly worth a longer stay (and, due to the size of the house, with more people!) Highly recommend Gerhard’s place.

Te Ora (Life) at the Beach- Luxury Beach Retreat

BrittanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fiona’s place was simply perfect. It was beautiful , clean, and right on the water. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. The apartment had every amenity you could possibly want, including toys and books that our kids loved. Fiona was an incredible host, she was home during our stay, introduced herself and gave us local recommendations. She was so friendly and our kids loved her and her 2 charming dogs! This was the perfect location to explore kaikoura, in walking distance from both the downtown shops and dining in the north bay and the seal colony and walk along the South Bay. The stay was one of the nicest and cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. We would love to stay here again and would 100% recommend it.

Beachfront Salty Dog Cottage, South Bay, Kaikōura

JoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This modernised bach was bright, light and comfortable with everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of space for cooking. Bathroom was lovely and clean with with a great shower. Bed was comfortable with an excellent view of the bay. It was very quiet and private, lovely listening to the faint sound of the waves at night. We would definitely stay here again.
