South Bay beach rentals

Lovely stay in the beautiful cottage. We expected rustic but the cottage was well appointed and everything was spotlessly clean. Comfortable and warm beds.

Fantastic location, easy check in. Could do with air con in bedroom. Nice roomy lounge, with great sea view. Good free parking,restraunts nearby. Great showers

Awesome stay. House had everything we needed for a comfortable few days. Great location. Easy self check in. Loved the old bach vibes. Impressed with the cleanliness.

House was perfect for us. Lots of space, lots of beds and close to everywhere we needed to be. Thank you.

Tucked away in South Bay, Kaikoura, the Bay Cottages offered us a relaxing stay. Our cottage was spacious, the kitchen well-equipped, the living area and the bed comfy. Everything was very clean and tidy. Its in a great location to explore the Kaikoura area. Only a short drive away from downtown or a walk over the hill. we enjoyed our stay and can only recommend it.

We had a great stay at Heather and Mark's. It was perfect for our needs--two young children--allowing for frequent walks to a playground, the South Bay wharf, and the beach, which were only a few minutes walk away. The wharf where Whale Watch Kaikoura launches from is only a couple of minutes walk away, and we were able to walk home from the launch without having to go back into town (be sure to call Whale Watch Kaikoura ahead of time to let them know these are your plans!). There was a fence to the driveway that allowed us to bound off the road and the let the kids run around without worrying. The tree swing and basket of toys were a lovely surprise that the kids appreciated. The property was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. The BBQ was ready to go and easy to use. Heather and Mark were great communicators and their instructions for accessing the property and places to visit in the area were very clear. We will definitely try to stay here again if we make it back to Kaikoura.

Very tidy and cosy studio. Perfectly set up and well suited for our quick getaway. Even better that we were able to bring our dog. We would happily book this place again
