This chalet was the absolute highlight of our holiday in New Zealand so far. It is a well equipped, modern, luxurious, super clean and spacious chalet type accommodation. It has absolutely everything you can think of - and the absolute highlight are of course the animals! What a joy to have then right next to you and being able to feed them by yourself! Also super lovely to have complimentary drinks and breakfast ready in the fridge. The hosts are very kind. If we ever come back to NZ then we would definitely come back here! Top recommendation!

The location was fantastic. So much space & the kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. The host had lit the fire for us for which we were very thankful. Wonderful Villa. Beds very comfortable.

A Classic Kiwi Bach in South Bay

Kaikoura

Boasting garden views, A Classic Kiwi Bach in South Bay features accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 2.2 km from Kaikoura Beach.

Lovely big house with spectacular views over South Bay as well as the snow on the mountains. We were lucky enough to have front row seats watching a particularly cold southerly blast come through Kaikoura while sitting by the warm, cosy fire. Luckily for us, the weather changed the following days so we could fully enjoy the Kaikoura Trotting Cup. The house is an easy walk down to the racecourse. There are also other wonderful walking/ biking trails close by. A perfect house for a group of friends or 2 families staying together. Lots of room outside for kids to play and heaps of parking for boats and cars. We loved the feel of the bach. It is so refreshing to stay in a bach that is not too modern and sterile.

The little house was luxurious and immaculate in a great position, close to the sea and not far to walk into Kaikoura in one direction or the Kaikoura peninsula walk in the other direction. We ate out the first night and used the BBQ on the deck at the front of the house on the second night. It was a lovely quiet neighbourhood. We were only there two nights but I would've loved to stay longer.
