About this property
Apartment on the Cliff Top
Panoramic splendor. No road noise, just the sound of the sea. Many beautiful short walks nearby. Five minutes to the Kaikoura lookout. The one acre garden was included in “Great Gardens of New Zealand” by Derek Fell. Other than the big tree on the cliff edge the established garden has been created by the resident owners over 32 years. Heat pump with air conditioning. Insect screens if needed. Very comfortable bed. Very comfortable apartment with a spectacular view.
Bed linens are not included in the tariff but are available for $40-$80. See below.
The upstairs apartment with separate entrance features a deck with a view of the Seaward Kaikoura mountain range, Kaikoura bay, beach, and township as well as sea and mountain views from every room. Lots of artwork everywhere. Exceptional star gazing.
The size of the guest apartment is 50 square meters. The kitchen was designed by a local artist. The kitchen bench, and bathroom vanity were handcrafted and purpose built. A good selection of New Zealand books and artwork complement the tasteful decoration and relaxed atmosphere. Free wireless computer access with good speed.
Bath and kitchen linens included. Bed linens extra.
Suited to whatever your degree of fitness and energy, there are a variety of walks, with stunning views that take you around the owners’ garden, the peninsula or down to the township.
Special conditions:
