K'orca Cottage by the sea
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (34)
"Everything you could ever want is here :) It was all so neat and tidy. It is a lovely, quiet location. To open up the curtains in the morning to the ocean and the Southern Alps is just breathtaking, not to mention seeing dolphins in the bay as well. It was a shame to have to go home and we would definitely want to stay here should we ever be down that way again. An absolutely amazing place to stay :)"

Kaikoura Beachfront Villa - Stunning Villa and Views
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"This cottage is a gem! The rooms are spacious and, despite the house being older, it feels modern inside, with a large kitchen, dining area, and living room. We loved the wood burner for colder evenings, and the location within walking distance of the town as well as the seal colony. The views of the coast and mountains out the front window were amazing!"

"Kaikoura was wonderful, our favorite spot in our trip, thanks to a kayak trip surrounded by dolphins and some great food. Judy's house is perfectly located, 3-4 minutes from restaurants, grocery store and the town. She is very friendly. Downsides - internet was a little spotty and dryer doesn't work so well, but the home is still a bargain."
