You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Kaikoura Bach Retreat

A seaside settlement of absolute natural wonder, Kaikoura is sure to blow you away, and to complete your picturesque escape to this stunning coast is The Kaikōura Bach!

A contemporary atmosphere with tidy and stylish furnishings and an air of holiday comfort, this holiday home will not disappoint. It will be hard not to lose track of time and feel the stress just melt away when your holiday could be so effortless and have everything from mountain ranges to glorious marine life.

The Kaikōura Bach is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, holiday home that delivers all the essentials, plus some. Enjoy WiFi to keep you connected, a Smart TV with Freeview and DVD player for entertainment, and of course the heat pump for year-round comfort.

In the summer head outside onto the sundeck where you'll be able to fire up the BBQ for a full-flavoured classic meal; a Kiwi must-have. Catch some sun while you lie out on a bean bag looking across to the water. There is even a handy cricket set to make use of when you head over the road to the beach.

When you get home off the beach, the outdoor shower is a welcome amenity to help you rinse the last bits of sand off the feet before you head indoors.

The local swimming and snorkelling beach is within walking distance or Whale Watch Kaikōura and the Kaikōura Peninsula Walkway are also just a few minutes walk away.

It's only a short five-minute drive to the centre of Kaikoura with all its cafes, restaurants and shops. Be sure to get out onto 'Tom's Track', a great 20-minute walk over the hill into Kaikoura with spectacular views well worth viewing.

A stellar stay awaits you at The Kaikōura Bach!

Pack binoculars!

This is the second time we've stayed at this house, and will definitely plan to stay here in the future. The house is modern, clean and warm. It has all the amenities you need, and is sufficiently spacious for a big family or group of friends. Our highlight was watching humpback whales from the living room.

Brilliant in South Bay

Near new, extremely appointed, amazing view, perfectly clean, really comfortable, great kitchen - with a view, spacious, straight across the road from the beach and a short hop in a car to the town centre. Just brilliant in every way.
