Te Ora (Life) Luxury Beach Retreat

BenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Of all the places I have stayed this one might be the nicest. Absolutely beautifully decorated with every amenity you could want. The beds were really comfortable with little extras like electric bed warmers and a heater in the bathroom. It was quiet with a spectacular view of the ocean. This is a special place.

Fyffe Apartment Glenburn Coastal Retreat Kaikoura

DavidRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely spectacular in every way! By far the best place we’ve ever stayed in. We had dreadful weather during our stay which meant going out was not an option, but with a place like this it didn’t matter a bit. We were cosy and had everything we needed and watched the waves crash and the wild weather all day long from the amazing big windows. The views are incredible and that’s with limited visibility so can only imagine how stunning they are on a good day! Cannot recommend this place highly enough, we’d love to return one day. Thank you so much ☺️

Phoenix Palm

JoeyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely wow—Kaikoura might just be my favorite town in the world, and DeArna and Stan are the kindest hosts I’ve ever met! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home and at peace. The house is spacious, cozy, and perfectly located—close to everything you’d want to do in Kaikoura. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower had steady, hot water. I had the pleasure of meeting both hosts—Stan even brought by some delicious fruit On the morning of checkout, I ran into car trouble right before a scheduled tour. Stan came right over to help and, when time was tight, he didn’t hesitate to offer me a ride so I wouldn’t miss it. That tour ended up being one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life—swimming with dolphins. I also got to see sperm whales earlier in my stay from both air and sea. Truly one of the best visits I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend this town, this place, and these hosts enough—thank you, DeArna and Stan!

The accommodations were just as described and comfortable. Centrally located and within walking distance of city center. Washer and dryer do require change, and they are single units, so plan accordingly.
Lush greenery surrounds the outdoor space, with a variety of shrubs and plants visible. A backdrop of mountains stretches across the horizon, complemented by a clear sky. The terrain is predominantly flat, contributing to an open and serene natural environment.
