Cosy cottage Kaikoura South Bay
The cosy cottage at Kaikoura is a great place to stay. The location is near many great walks, the sea and the boat excursions. It’s in a quiet location and there is no light pollution , so the stars at night are amazing. Seeing the sunrise and moonrise at the Kaikoura lookout is a must. The location is not far from town, seal colony , esplanade and town eateries. The location has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s clean and very comfortable. It’s dog friendly and our pooch loved it there as there are many walks around the sea walk that they can go on. We were kept informed about our stay at every step of the way and check in was seamless. Thank you for a great stay . We will return there.

Cute place, and well stocked with kitchen utensils. Unfortunately a storm moved in and limited what I could do. The neighborhood is really quiet and peaceful. Not too far from main street.

Kaikoura revisit
Great little house. Had everything as stated. Very comfortable beds and nice outside furniture to relax in as well. Very quiet South Bay. Kaikoura has recovered beautifully.
