If you’re seeking a peaceful departure from the pace of modern life, this is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories.
Set on a generous beachfront property, Dunluce invites you to gather with family or friends in a homestead brimming with rustic charm. You’ll be greeted with fresh farm-grown produce on arrival - a warm country welcome that sets the tone for your stay.

Cook up local flavours in the spacious farm kitchen and enjoy meals in the formal dining room or alfresco on the terrace under jacaranda branches. Hear native birdsong, feel the ocean breeze, and let the serene vistas restore your senses.

The property features a private beach area, framed by breathtaking coastal views and gentle waves. In this setting, you can hunt for driftwood, watch dolphins, seals, or even whales, or simply unwind by the sea.

At night, marvel at the Kaikōura Dark Sky, where the pristine skies offer unparalleled stargazing. Guests can enjoy the sparkling constellations from the property, making for a truly magical coastal escape.
