This warm, tranquil, self catering three bedroom holiday home, with log fire is situated at Peketa, a small settlement 12 kilometres south of the Kaikoura township. You can bring your own linen or choose to hire linen for an additional charge. This property has no cleaning service so renters must clean before vacating. Close by is the excellent surfing beach at Kahutara. Open the large bifolding doors to a superb deck and outdoor entertainment area in a large private garden, fully fenced and safe for children. Solar lights appear magically in the garden once the sun goes down. The house is surrounded by trees where native birds, including the bellbird, and fantails abound. There is now two or three resident Tuis in the garden as well and occasionally Californian Quails appear on the lawn. The kitchen has most things you need, including a Nespresso coffee machine, spice rack and a Magic bullet, but sorry no dish washer. There is a sleepout in the garden where older children can stay with two bunks and a small deck.
There are plenty of activities nearby including a Lavender farm, bush and beach walks, star watching, restaurants, golf course, surf casting, fishing, snorkelling, diving and swimming. We now have an Eco Zipline for the adventurous thrill seekers in the Rakanui valley just behind the bach. The Mount Lyford Ski field is one hours drive and of course there is the whale watching, swimming with the dolphins.
Minimum stay during the week one night, weekends two nights.
There is a TV, including free Netflix, video, CD Player, washing machine, iron, gas BBQ and fridge/freezer.
Plenty of off street parking for boats and room for tents in the sheltered garden.
There is also a fish filleting area
