About this Holiday House

This property offers a three bedroom cottage which accommodates up to 6 people and boasts unparalled views of the ocean and the mountains. It neighbours an additional property, see 'Room with a View - The Studio' which we offer as an additional accommodation. It can sleep up to 4 guests and can be linked to this listing as the two properties share a deck with a sliding partition. This three bedroom cottage features polished concrete floors in the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas. The bedrooms are fully carpeted and feature views of the mountains and sea. Two of the bedrooms have access to the terrace. There is also a day bed in the lounge area. The cottage has spectacular views, full kitchen including a dishwasher and an outdoor bbq. There is a separate laundry with a washing machine and dryer. The bathroom includes a shower and a bath, a toilet, and two vanities. There is a heat pump in the comfortable lounge and dining area. There is a queen size bed in each of the three bedrooms with an electric blanket plus extra bedding if required. Your pets are welcome, and there is room for your kid's to play. We are surrounded by the bushy bank down to town, and a grassy historic Maori Pa. There are cows across the road, and sheep up the hill. All you will hear is the ocean surf and the native birds.

Special Attractions and Activities Nearby

We are on the edge of the Kaikoura Peninsula, high above the township. We are among the walking tracks, right outside your front door. Summer-bare or plastered with winter’s snowy coat, Mount Fyffe and the Seaward Kaikoura Range dominate the Kaikoura skyline. They provide recreation opportunities ranging from a family stroll to a serious backcountry hike. We are adjoining a Maori Pa, a large piece of land that once was a sort of fort: Nga Niho pa on the Kaikoura Peninsula is thought to have been built during the 1820s when the people of Ngati Toa, waged war against Ngai Tahu. From the pa, enemy canoes could be seen approaching along the coast. 3 minute walk to Kaikoura Lookout which provides breath-taking 360 degree views of the Kaikoura Peninsula. Many more walking tracks within a couple hundred meters of the front door.

This was the second time we have stayed at "The Cottage" and we loved it. We took our dog, and explored many of the local walks from the back door, down into South Bay and down the bush walk into town, and along the road towards the end of the peninsula and walked down and around to the Pier Hotel for lunch. There was another walkway we discovered that will have to be explored on our next trip to "The Cottage", I am sure we will be back. Thank you very much, for a lovely stay.
