About this property
Beautiful ocean view from this lovely holiday home
Our beautiful home is ideal for the family, a girls weekend or a fishing trip.
Enjoy waking up to the sunrise in the morning.
Two handy beaches are all in walking distance. Ideal for surfing and swimming at Campbels Bay which is 500 m walk away
The price is for up to five people, so no extra costs per person :)
Just over the road is the lagoon and the mouth of the sea, ideal for fishing and white baiting.
If you dive, there is plenty of paua.
Enjoy our lovely log fire or just use the heat pump.
Easy access if you have a camper van as we have two entrances to property.
Lovely garden to sit in and watch the sea.
Enjoy walking along the coast line to the beach.
Pool table to use and board games for a rainy day.
Extra fridge for your beer
Outdoor furniture that is lovely for sitting in that 5 o'clock sun.
If you have a dog, they will enjoy all the walks and other dogs around. The section is fully fenced.
Visit the town of Oamaru. It is very beautiful in the old part. With a very interesting art gallery and old time shops set in the Victorian days with a twist of steam punk, there is always something happening there
Moeraki is 25 minutes away. A lovely walk from the lighthouse to see lots of seals and if you are lucky penguins.

About the host
Hosted by kimk5129
This is my getaway from the city as I love swimming, boogie boarding, fishing and white baiting. Relaxing outside in the sun with no traffic is exactly what I need
Why they chose this property
We brought this property as it overlooks the sea. I have been coming to Kakanui for 40 years and it is so relaxing that is why I brought a home here
What makes this property unique
You can walk to the mouth for white baiting. And beautiful walk to Campbells Bay. You can also walk to go down for getting paua. The view is beautiful from all round our property. I have seen schools of dolphins swimming from our conservatory
The section is 1/4 acre, so plenary of room for kids.
Two way driveway so perfect for camper
