About this property

Kakanui Coastal Living with Panoramic Ocean Views

Perched along one of New Zealand's most spectacular stretches of coastline, this brand new three-bedroom home in Kakanui offers an unparalleled opportunity to embrace the relaxed rhythm of coastal living. With sweeping sea views across the Pacific Ocean, this property captures the essence of North Otago's rugged beauty while providing modern comfort and contemporary design.

Kakanui itself is a hidden gem along the Waitaki Coast, known for its friendly community, excellent fishing, and the famous Kakanui River mouth. The village offers a peaceful alternative to busier coastal towns while remaining conveniently located just a short drive from Oamaru, where you'll find schools, shopping, healthcare, and cultural attractions including the historic Victorian Precinct and Blue Penguin Colony.

The location provides easy access to both coastal and countryside adventures. Beach walks, fishing from the rocks, and exploring tide pools are all moments from your door, while the surrounding North Otago region offers world-class hiking, cycling, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The nearby Moeraki Boulders and Katiki Point lighthouse are local treasures worth exploring. Or take a short drive to Maheno Tavern for a bistro pub meal and beverage.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The hosts were welcome and the amenities in fine condition. This is a terrific house on a great site - thoughtfully designed, very new, and also well planted. We had a fine stay! And could not recommend it too highly. The beaches north and south along the gently rolling downs of North Otago are very beautiful.
