It's a true Kiwi batch/crib. It's not 5 star but it is honest and comfortable with uncompromising views. The township of Kakanui is also true-blue Kiwi, it definitely is not Queenstown and the ability to enjoy the location is hassle free, ie you can simply walk everywhere.There are also plenty of other like-minded people also enjoying the beach, views and serenity. I especially enjoyed everything about being beside the ocean, the house is well suited to a Kiwi family escape.I am grateful that the owners allow people unknown to them the opportunity to enjoy their piece of paradise.

Stayed here after our wedding so we were looking for a nice spot to relax, and this definitely delivered, although it may be a wee bit of an old house it was very homely and with the fire going it was lovely and warm, whilst also having stunning views of the ocean.We loved it definitely would recommend this one!

Fantastic location to Oamaru, Moeraki and Katiki Point Lighthouse and Seals. The extensive sea views at the Bach, from most rooms were incredible. The bach was lovely and clean, with comfortable beds and two bathrooms, which were both great and very handy for our stay. The fire was a real highlight for the cooler evenings. It is an older bach, as shown in the photos and listing, but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing coastal break.Having a porta cot, high chair, and toys available was a real bonus for our family weekend away with the grandkids.All communication prior to our stay was efficient and quick. Thank you very much !
