About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Watch the weather roll in along the coast with sea views from every room.

Relax at the edge of the sea in beautiful Kakanui. Overlooking Campbells Bay with sea views from every room, we offer a comfortable and cosy experience. With therapeutic sounds of the beach within walking distance, and historic Oamaru only 14kms away, you can enjoy a bit of both worlds.

A 1970s crib that has been extended over time, resulting in a quirky layout with three interconnected bedrooms that come off the lounge (no hallway), and is most suitable for families or close friends.

Please note: the house has old fittings and carpet so that animals can stay. Still very comfortable though :)

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90 per stay); Linen (included);

Stayed here after our wedding so we were looking for a nice spot to relax, and this definitely delivered, although it may be a wee bit of an old house it was very homely and with the fire going it was lovely and warm, whilst also having stunning views of the ocean.We loved it definitely would recommend this one!

Fantastic location to Oamaru, Moeraki and Katiki Point Lighthouse and Seals. The extensive sea views at the Bach, from most rooms were incredible. The bach was lovely and clean, with comfortable beds and two bathrooms, which were both great and very handy for our stay. The fire was a real highlight for the cooler evenings. It is an older bach, as shown in the photos and listing, but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing coastal break.Having a porta cot, high chair, and toys available was a real bonus for our family weekend away with the grandkids.All communication prior to our stay was efficient and quick. Thank you very much !
