    House was beautiful and very well appointed with interesting, functional and comfortable resources inside and out. Hamish (host) had great communications and made everything easy. Completely rural, but still literally less than 10mins from town.

Hamish King
Rustic luxury holiday home located 10 km north from the Kaikoura township. This architecturally designed house has been built in a peaceful rural environment, surrounded by native kanuka trees with impressive mountain views. Perfect for families, children, friends and functions, up to 7 guests can sleep comfortably. Let’s discover our two large bedrooms and a modern bathroom upstairs, as well as a master bedroom with en-suite downstairs. An additional single bedroom is perfect for a child. There is the possibility to add an extra single mattress to host 8 guests (on request). A calm and restful sleep is guaranteed in our comfortable beds with linen bedding.
In less than 5 minutes driving, you can find yourself at the best surf spots in Kaikoura or bike ride to a well maintained track that follows the Hapuku river to the ocean (20 min) and continues to Mount Fyffe (1h) (there is a possibility to hire bikes directly with us - on request). In the heat of summer, if you feel like having a refreshing swim, take a 10 minute walk to the Hapuku river swimming hole. Treat yourself during your stay and ask our experienced chef to set the table and cook an amazing dinner for you. (details on request and according to availability) If you wish to make this experience truly unforgettable, enjoy a helicopter flight from our paddock to the top of Mount Fyffe in luxury with a homemade hamper for a romantic occasion. Kanuka Terrace, the perfect place to create unique memories.
