About this property

Classic Kiwi Bach: Kakanui Beach Escape.

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful coastal retreat, perfectly positioned for those who love the outdoors while offering plenty of privacy and tranquillity. Just a one-minute walk to Campbells Bay surf beach and only a few minutes from the Kakanui River, this sunny home is a surfer’s sanctuary and a fisherman’s paradise. So much for kids and teens to do all day, making memories of a classic kiwi holiday.

Check the surf without even leaving the house. Enjoy ocean views and keep an eye on the sea conditions and surf from your window before heading straight to the beach. Help yourself to the surfboards, bodyboards, wetsuits, and fishing and diving gear, and you could be in the water within minutes! And mums and dad, no need to load the car with huge amounts of gear, the house is so close to the beach just walk with what you need. Go home for lunch, recharge then back down before tea for more fun. In the morning while everyone sleeps in take a walk on the beach and watch the sunrise.

The spacious backyard is perfect for family fun, featuring a tree hut, trampoline, and skate ramp, with secure fencing for your furry friends. Whether you’re chasing waves, casting a line, exploring underwater, or simply unwinding by the coast, this is the perfect base to experience the best of coastal living.
