About this property

Situated 8km north of Kaikoura on a rural block of land close to the Hapuku river bike trails and local surf breaks.

It’s a small house with luxury fittings. Enjoy the view out to sea and over Kaikoura from the comfort of your bed....or lay on the sofa and open the windows to watch the Bellbirds and Tuis feeding from the trees surrounding the house.

The house has two raised mezzanine floors - with a King Single on one, and a Queen bed on the other. The living room has a sofa that can be utilised as a further single bed if required, and a cot is avaliable on request. Please note, the mezzanine floors are accessed via a steep staircase.

We would love to host you in our contemporary designed little black house. Please come stay and forget about your worries with us.

Perfect bach!

Lovely spot to spend a few days in the Kaikoura region. Perfectly appointed with everything we needed. Thanks for being such a great host, Tom. We’ll return as soon as the wind blows us back across the Tasman!

PERFECT Little Black House

The Little Black House will not disappoint any new visitor. The house is incredibly well equipped with all the amenities for a relaxing, and chilled break away. The interior is of a very high spec and the soft furnishings are beautiful. The bathroom facilities were more than ideal, and the shower was lush. The mountain views one side and sea views on the other are a lovely contrast to the eye. I'll definitely come back again!

Stunning location, comfortable accommodation

We were very late checking in because of a delayed ferry sailing but Hamish was so accommodating and helpful, we couldn't have asked for more. The location is peaceful with incredible views towards the sea and the mountains, and a beautiful night sky. Wish we could have stayed longer - we will go back. My only precaution is for people who have mobility issues as getting to the bedrooms involves climbing a ladder and the ceiling in the bedrooms is low. But it worked well for three mobile adults - just depends on what you are up for.
