Beachfront | Games Room | Handy Location - KK58106, Beachfront | Games Room | Handy Location
This home offers stunning Mountain and Beach views. Dolphins and seals often cruise past along the coast. The occasional whale can also be spotted for those with an eagle eye. Nestled right next to the beach with private access and still very central to Kaikōura.
Please keep in mind this home is a classic kiwi bach that comes with some character and usual wear and tear with Bach style accomodation. There is still plenty of good times to be had in this home with family and friends!
The home is simple and functional with plenty of space. A well equipped functional kitchen. Multiple living spaces, 50 inch smart TV + Netflix/Youtube/Freeview. Separate games room with a pool table, table tennis table, darts, board games etc.
Two Log fires keep the place cosy with plenty of wood stock piled. Please note: this is the only form of heating so it’s important you know how to start and maintain a fire.
A good size yard to kick a ball around or have a game of backyard cricket. Kaikōura is a fishing, diving and hunting Mecca!
You have access to the whole home.
The house is also located in close proximity to operational train tracks. You need to cross tracks to get to the beach.
Kitchen and dinning are upstairs and all bedrooms, plus bathrooms are down stairs.
We are pet friendly accommodation.
There are no parties or large gathering allowed at this property.

Easter weekend getaway
We booked the property several months ago to accommodate our extended family stay (6 adults, 3 kids). The property is in a very handy spot- walking distance to supermarket, beach and local shops and cafes. Plenty of parking on site and gated property ideal for dogs and small children. Some aspects of the property were more rundown than the listing photos suggest, however the property manager was responsive to our messages and our group enjoyed their stay overall.

View to reconnect
We were a group of 8, 4 adults 4kids. Bedroom layouts worked great. Living area away from bedrooms. The house was really warm. The mountain and sea view was my main reason for choosing to stay here as I grew up with the exact view, but a km up the road.

Weekend in Kaikoura
We flew over from Australia for a weekend in Kaikoura, fishing and diving The house was awesome, we could walk out the back and down to the beach for a cold plunge in the ocean to wake up, the house was spacious and had us entertained with games by night.we also enjoyed the fire place of an evening, the view of the ocean was a treat with dolphins and fish jumping all day

Lovely spot
Nice big house and great view of the ocean. Games room was fun, the pool table and equipment were a bit run down but we had fun still. Lots of pool comps with the family.
