Kakanui beauty

We had a great time. The house was perfect. Had everything you could possibly need. A fire for those chilly mornings. The location was great. Views were beautiful.

Family and dog friendly

Perfect for larger group and families - and the dog! Clean, warm, spacious, and outdoor deck/bbq area was perfect for sheltered cooking, eating and gathering. Lots of toys, dvds for kids, trampoline well fenced, even a stocked up garden! The bunk room for the kids was ideal. Good views, and easy walk around the township and to the beach. The locally made soaps were a lovely touch. Thank you so much, would love to come back sometime.

Great spot

We loved the location, not somewhere we had stopped before. House had plenty of toys for the kids. We had one cold night but once the fire was going for a while it warmed up. Plenty of character in the house which was a nice change for us. Only 15min to town which was handy. Lovely drive down the coast line. Recommend the house and location for a nice family getaway.
