About this property

Beautiful ocean view from this lovely holiday home

Our beautiful home is ideal for the family, a girls weekend or a fishing trip.
Enjoy waking up to the sunrise in the morning.
Two handy beaches are all in walking distance. Ideal for surfing and swimming at Campbels Bay which is 500 m walk away
The price is for up to five people, so no extra costs per person :)
There is a charge for dogs of $10 a night. That cost is for maximum of 2 dogs. If there more dogs please message me before booking.
Just over the road is the lagoon and the mouth of the sea, ideal for fishing and white baiting.
If you dive, there is plenty of paua.
Enjoy our lovely log fire or just use the heat pump.
Easy access if you have a camper van as we have two entrances to property.
Lovely garden to sit in and watch the sea.
Enjoy walking along the coast line to the beach.
Pool table to use and board games for a rainy day.
Extra fridge for your beer
Outdoor furniture that is lovely for sitting in that 5 o'clock sun.
If you have a dog, they will enjoy all the walks and other dogs around. The section is fully fenced.
Visit the town of Oamaru. It is very beautiful in the old part. With a very interesting art gallery and old time shops set in the Victorian days with a twist of steam punk, there is always something happening there
Moeraki is 25 minutes away. Visit Fleurs Seafood Restaurant. Beautiful food!! A lovely walk from the lighthouse to see lots of seals and if you are lucky penguins.

Fantastic beach bach

Our family had a lovely stay. The location is awesome, being only minutes from the beach and a playground. The house had everything you need including boogie boards and wetsuits. Kakanui is a great spot close to Oamaru which is a lovely town. Will definitely be back :)

Amazing place

We had a wonderful stay in this holiday home. I cannot fault any step of the check-in, info sharing and arrival process. The home is warm, sunny and so well appointed. The fire was super cosy and the views of the sea were magical. We love your Paua shell shower wall too! Thank you

Best place to watch the sunrise while having breakfast

This was just the perfect place for our little family holiday. Close to the beach, even our 2.5 year old walked to and from the beach. The playground is just down the road and our four legged family member was allowed to come too. We definitely will be back. Thank you for sharing your little paradise!

Great stay in Kakanui

The house was well positioned with lots of sun during the day and a great view. The rooms are nicely renovated, and kitchen is well supplied with everything you need. Very warm too, with both a wood burner and heat pump available. Only possible improvements would be to have a small heater for the bathroom, and brighter lighting for the dining area. But otherwise, loved our stay. We’ve used several baches in Kakanui, and would definitely stay here again.

Great house

Lovely house, easy to find in the dark and access the property and house. We were away doing an adventure race so only saw the amazing view of the sea on our last morning. Very relaxing to nurture a coffee and sore muscles. My family could not come with me due to child sickness, and I would love them to come back and enjoy this lovely house and Kakanui. Awesome area to explore. WIll be in touch to book again. Many thanks

Spectacular sunrise & beaches

Bach was very clean modern and fresh . Best ever bed it was so comfortable **** Amazing view out to sea and spectacular sunrise . Our border terriers had a ball running around the property. However they escaped through the gap at the side of the gate.They are known as escape artists looking for adventures but we caught them about 4 doors up the street after asking a friendly local who was walking his dog. Beautiful beaches to run the dogs and Campbell's beach popular with the surfers. . We had a great overnight stay, but would love to stay longer next time

Such beautiful gardens and views! We loved being able to have our dog with us in this comfortable home with a fully fenced yard. The pool table was fun. We really appreciated the variety of outdoor seating areas to enjoy the ocean views while staying out of the wind and/or maximizing the sun. Kim was great with prompt communication. We look forward to coming back again!

I love swimming and boogie boarding. I love to read and relax on the beach

Why they chose this property

We brought this property as it overlooks the sea. I have been coming to Kakanui for 30 years and it is so relaxing that is why I brought a home here

What makes this property unique

Room for camper van. You can walk to the mouth for white baiting. The view is beautiful from all round our property. I have seen schools of dolphins swimming from our conservatory
