Summary
Modern, comfortable holiday home with mountain views in a quiet cul-de-sac on the peninsula, between South Bay and town. Enjoy the peace while being just a short drive from anywhere in Kaikoura.
The house features a fully equipped kitchen, cozy beds, free Wi-Fi, a deck, and ample off-street parking. You’ll be renting the spacious front half of the house, with shared access to the laundry connecting the two units.
Description
Our 6-bedroom home is cleverly designed as two separate units, each with 3 bedrooms. This listing is for the front unit, which is fully self-contained and ideal for smaller groups or families.
Separated from the rear unit by a garage, the two spaces are connected only by a shared laundry behind the garage. The entrance to the front unit is via a private deck with wide eaves for shelter. At the back of the house, there’s an additional deck with outdoor furniture and a BBQ—ideal for al fresco dining or enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Inside, the master bedroom boasts a super-king bed, ensuite bathroom, and sliding door to the deck. The second bedroom features a split super-king bed that can be configured as a single bed or super-king—let us know your preference. The third bedroom offers a comfortable king bed. A second bathroom complements the ensuite, ensuring convenience for everyone.
The open-plan living area combines the kitchen, dining, and lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, electric hob, extraction fan, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, and granite-topped island—a great hub for socializing. The lounge has a leather suite, a 65" TV with Netflix and Disney+, and a dining table for six.
The shared laundry includes a washing machine and dryer. While the garage is typically off-limits, fishing enthusiasts can request access to the fridge and freezer inside.

If you're traveling with a large group, consider our 3-bedroom home next door—perfect for keeping everyone together while maintaining space and privacy!
Guest Access
The property offers plenty of parking options:
• A long driveway runs up the left side of the house.
• A spacious area in front of the house provides convenient off-street parking.
• A small space on the right side of the house is also available.
We also own the mostly empty section next door, which you’re welcome to use for parking, provided the ground isn’t too soft (unlikely in summer). This space is perfect for parking boats or letting children play. Keep in mind, any guests at our other house will receive the same advice, so the area may be shared.
At the rear of the empty section are some shipping containers—one is ours, and the others belong to our neighbour, who owns Hunting & Fishing. Occasionally, you might see people accessing these containers.
Street parking is also available if needed.
Guest Interaction
You’ll have the house entirely to yourselves, ensuring privacy and a relaxing stay. We’re based in Christchurch, about two hours away, but we’re always available by phone or messaging if you need assistance.
Neighbourhood Overview
Our home is nestled near the end of the peninsula, in a peaceful and quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic—perfect for a relaxing getaway and safe for children. Enjoy being within walking distance to the beach, scenic peninsula walkways, and the seal colony. For dining, shopping, or exploring, the Kaikoura town centre is just a 5-minute drive away. It's an ideal location to unwind while staying close to local attractions and natural beauty.
Getting Around
A car is essential for getting around Kaikoura and fully enjoying the area. While walking to town is possible, it’s a bit of a hike, especially on the uphill return. Luckily, our property offers plenty of off-road parking, with ample space for cars, boats, or trailers, making it easy to bring everything you need for your adventure.
