Great place to relax and unwind.

Couldn’t have asked for anything else. This place is just beautiful and so well equipped for all your travelling needs. So comfortable and home from home. Having a chance to wash & dry some laundry, to cooking a meal in the well equipped kitchen and relaxing in the beautiful grounds. Great hosts who respected our privacy so kindly. Alfie the cat have us a welcomeEvery time we popped in/out. So lovely. Thank you.

Korasview a welcome haven

Sarah’s place was a welcome haven to explore the Kaikōura area. The house was spacious and clean with a well equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains from the comfortable deck chairs. Sarah was friendly and welcoming and had great tips for local attractions. One of our favourite New Zealand stops. Highly recommended.

Very nice clean and spacious property. We can say nice things about the entire property but the best part was how quiet it was, and the beautiful views.

Such a gorgeous property. A lovely hidden retreat with all the amenities needed and only a short drive from Kaikora. Views from all angles form snow cap mountains to the ocean

Incredible views

Had a lovely couple of days at this wonderful property. Enjoyed spectacular views of mountains, sea, sunrises and sunsets. Our young daughter liked feeding the cows, sheep and goats. A really lovely house- pleasure to be there.
