3 Bedroom House in Kaikoura, Kaikoura District

This warm, tranquil, self catering three bedroom holiday home, with log fire is situated at Peketa, a small settlement 12 kilometres south of the Kaikoura township. You can bring your own linen to save on costs or choose to hire linen for an additional charge. Close by is the excellent surfing beach at Kahutara. Open the large bifolding doors to a superb deck and outdoor entertainment area in a large private garden, fully fenced and safe for children. Solar lights appear magically in the garden once the sun goes down. The house is surrounded by trees where native birds, including the bellbird, and fantails abound. There is now two or three resident Tuis in the garden as well. The kitchen has most things you need, including a Nespresso coffee machine, spice rack and a Magic bullet, but sorry no dish washer. There is a sleepout in the garden which is suitable for older children. This property has no cleaning service so renters need to leave the house clean and tidy on vacating.
There is a neighbour keeping an eye on the property so please be honest when you book the amount of people staying.
There are plenty of activities nearby including bush and beach walks, star watching, restaurants, golf course, surf casting, fishing, snorkelling, diving and swimming. We now have an Eco Zipline for the adventurous thrill seekers in the Rakanui valley just behind the bach. The Mount Lyford Ski field is one hours drive and of course there is the whale watching, swimming with the dolphins.
Minimum stay during the week one night, weekends two nights.
There is a TV, including free Netflix, video, CD Player, washing machine, iron, gas BBQ and fridge/freezer. The Pitza oven is not for tennants use. The property has Star link now so internet is much faster and more reliable.
Plenty of off street parking for boats and room for tents in the sheltered garden.
There is also a fish filleting area
