Awesome stay

Everything you could ever want is here :) It was all so neat and tidy. It is a lovely, quiet location. To open up the curtains in the morning to the ocean and the Southern Alps is just breathtaking, not to mention seeing dolphins in the bay as well. It was a shame to have to go home and we would definitely want to stay here should we ever be down that way again. An absolutely amazing place to stay :)

Best spot in Kaikoura

What a beautiful spot, we loved watching the whales and dolphins from the deck and even from the couch! House was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We loved being on the quiet side of Kaikoura with the peninsula walk a few minutes away. Gail was very accomodating and only a phone call away. Fantastic 10/10

About the host

Hosted by Gail Lineton

We are a family of 4, that have enjoyed Kaikoura all our lives with parents also now retired in Kaikoura.
We purchased this lovely cottage in Feb 2018 and are adding extras every time we are using the cottage ourselves. So it's only going to get better and better.
The location is wonderful and the views are just outstanding. We hope you all enjoy this special place Kaikoura is.

Why they chose this property

The views, home comforts, great covered deck for relaxing and just soaking it all up.
The bay is also brilliant for kayaking. I have even kayaked amongst a pod of dolphins right in front of the cottage.
