Clean and comfortable however the location is a few km from the town centre and the wake up at 4am with fishing boats going out is a little hard to take when on holidays

Great stay! Had a great time and the place was really cool. Great to be so close to the marina and watch the boats coming and going. Was great to be able to bring the dog as well- although not fully fenced. Great stay and thanks for sharing your bach with us!

What a wonderful stay, great location, warm and cosy, friendly correspondence.We came to bring my elderly Mother and Aunty to visit the area where they had a bach as children. A typo in a message from Raylene had us arrive at 2 Moa Rd, we found out later that day that was the site of the old bach.

Kaikoura Cottage

An old "dog friendly" cottage that has been modernized with double glazed windows, heat pump, new appliances (fridge, microwave, stove, tv ....). Very comfortable stay. It is opposite the boat launch and they launch boats from 4:00 am so take some earplugs. Good value for money.
