We loved this place, so did our dog, it was great to have it fully fenced. From the little toilet paper flowers to the heat pump being turned on before we arrive, so it was so warm and toasty. We loved sitting upstairs watching the world go by. Being close to the sea was a plus. We will be back. Can't recommend this place enough.

Amazing Spot!

Loved our stay in South Bay! The house was perfect for our family of 5. Nice and quiet, and a stunning view from upstairs. Great view of the bay from up the hill behind the house. Plenty of heating to keep us warm in a cold Kaikoura southerly, and there were even some hottie bottles to warm up our beds. Good kitchen with everything we needed, and very good washing machine and dryer. Only 5mins drive or a 30min walk to the town centre. 5 min walk to the south end of the Kaikoura peninsula walkway. Might come back for a summer trip with our boat!
