About this property

‘White Caps’ - Entire Guest Studio - Loft bed with Ocean & Mountain views

Experience the Sunrise spectacular at 'White Caps Kaikoura'.
Quiet, relaxing & peaceful - sunrise view from your bed - starry skies - close-up mountains - spacious, light & airy - beautiful wood throughout - creative touches - secure parking - toast and cereal is included - and a wee bit of whale whimsy throughout. Truly, a home away from home.

Overview: Make yourself at home in this spacious loft-bedroom studio with large living area and acres of glass, opening onto our 2-hectare lifestyle property. You will marvel at the serenity of being just 10 minutes from Kaikoura town. No near neighbours, no street noise. Just an amazing view of the mountains, a night sky full of stars, a couple of cows, a few flighty sheep, and a fuzzy Golden Doodle.

Living room: The space is large and lofty, with a two-story high cedar wood ceiling, beachy white floorboards and coastal decor. There is a queen bed upstairs on a mezzanine floor and a sofa bed downstairs. Please note that the bathroom is down the stairs from the bedroom.

Dining: This guest studio is like a peaceful rural retreat away from it all. That includes cooking! There is no kitchenette, sink or microwave. What you do have is a full-size dining table and a dresser filled with plenty of tableware for your drinks, nibbles and takeaway. There is a sweet retro mini fridge (no freezer), a kettle, toaster and Nespresso machine.

Sunrise: The Loft bedroom faces due east. Depending on the time of year, the sun will either rise out of the sea right in front of your eyes while you lay in bed, or, in winter, will peek out over the adjacent hills. It's very inspiring, and cloud patterns can create some sublime colours in the Kaikoura region, but it is early in the summertime! In case you don't find it romantic ;-) … we can provide you with a brand new complimentary eye mask. Just mention it.

TV: 32 " flatscreen smart TV with satellite freeview channels and Netflix and Disney+

Breakfast: In the morning, make yourself breakfast at your leisure. We provide milk, bread for toast, margarine, spreads, cereals, and freshly boiled eggs from our neighbour’s happy hen house. These things are already in the room/fridge.

Parking: Secure parking is right in front of the house and your loft studio. If you have a precious vehicle or loads of personal stuff in a van, this is the place for you. We even have enough space for boats on trailers.

We hope you choose White Caps for your next holiday in Kaikoura.

great break away

Much needed break in a quiet location. Accommodation was inviting and warm, close to the mountains, very serene and peaceful. A short drive to Kaikoura township, and enjoyed experiencing different eateries, the walks and chatting to locals. Thank you so much Indigo.

Beautiful place to stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at Hapuku. The house was thoughtfully presented to guests and we were warmly welcomed by our host. We would love to stay here again and have no reservations in recommending it to other travellers

It was the most serene place. The views were impeccable. Indy was the perfect host. Her charm was equal to the charm of the atmosphere she created. Every detail was placed in every corner to make you feel at home. It was the best get away place to unwind, get close to nature and learn to slow down and love life. It was far enough away to feel like you were away from everything but close enough to Kaikoura to enjoy all of its splendor as well. Love, love, loved every minute of our stay.

Relaxed and peaceful, amazing outlook

While it is a short drive from the main Kaikoura town, this is a lovely place to stay, with amazing views of the mountains and sea. Indy welcomed us when we arrived and is a super friendly host. Once she introduced us to property she left us to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. The property was warm and cosy for us when we arrived, and we will definitely stay again if ever back in Kaikoura. Thank you.

Perfect overnight stay!

The property was very nice and had a wonderful view of both the mountains and the ocean. There were some lovely nice touches like homemade yoghurt for breakfast. Was perfect for a short stay!

Outstanding property, place and people.

Partner and myself; one night with good weather before and after although a chilly morning the second day. Delightful stay with everything except a full kitchen. Day bed/futon could easily host more and/or a child or children. Well stocked with continental breakfast items and basics; even homemade yogurt provided for the first night. Multiple coffee options for any schedule. Nearby plenty to do. Clean, tidy, sealife-themed everything. Amazing shower and general toilet/sink etc. Very good lighting everywhere. Very private and isolated from the main house/structure. As a couple, upstairs loft bed was a real treat and large bay windows let the sunrise in for a brilliant morning glow on everything. Seamless, flexible check-in and check-out. Guestbook easily found and pen provided.
