Vacation rentals with a patio in South Bay

It is a lovely apartment and we wish we had the time to stay longer.

Very quiet place to stay very recommended

Loved our stay here! Super clean, comfy, and had everything we needed — complete kitchen stuffs, clean sheets, free parking. Easy to find too, right by the main road and close to the city. Would definitely come back!

Comfortable and clean studio. Jason was great with fast communication and information. It's about 25 min walk to restaurants and shops in main town area.

Fiona was so welcoming and friendly. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous - just as in the photos. A really special and beautiful home in the most amazing location - literally across the road from the beach. The apartment was filled with welcoming and thoughtful gestures including Easter eggs and hot cross buns, as well as fruit, milk and bread (on top of a well-stocked pantry). Would highly recommend and would love to return.

Lovely and comfortable stay in Kaikoura with your very own fireplace. Easy to find and to check-in and a great option for families with young children.

Great communication and cozy accommodation. Perfect for a couple night stay.

We had an amazing time at Lou’s place! Really peaceful setting with a spectacular view, but still close driving distance to Kaikoura town for whale watching and other activities. It’s a beautiful space, well equipped kitchen and very cosy! We had an issue with an alarm going off and Lou was very quick to get it sorted, thanks for such a lovely stay!

Kids loved staying here, they pottered around outside heaps instead of being bored inside. Great location.

Words cannot describe the views. Having breakfast on the balcony was incredible. All of us slept very comfortably in the beds. The place was just as described. We wish we had more time to spend. If ever in the area, we will definitely hope this space is available.

Wonderful place! Our host was an excellent communicator, too. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful countryside house. Traveling with our five-month-old baby, we were looking for a peaceful, quiet place away from any noise — and this was absolutely perfect. The house and rooms were extremely clean, making us feel just like we were at home. Colleen and Gile were exceptional — welcoming us warmly with flexible check-in arrangements, and showing great understanding of our need for privacy with a little one. We truly appreciated the calm environment and the comfort offered. Our morning conversation over breakfast was delightful and made our stay even more memorable. The location is ideal too — just about an hour’s scenic drive from Hanmer Springs. If you’re looking to enjoy the activities at Hanmer and then retreat to a peaceful, restful night surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. From here, you can easily head back to Christchurch or return for another day at Hanmer. Highly recommend this beautiful place and its amazing hosts!

We spent a very peaceful and comfortable night at the house. Jo welcomed us and showed us the rooms. Jo generously provided breakfast for one of my girls for free. She also invited my girls to feed the sheep next door. To be honest, the house is not close to the beach, but it is no problem for people with a car. Generally, it is a good place to stay and we will visit again in the future.

Such a stunning location and property. Waking up to a Mountain View, such stunning views you can look at all day. Highlights were spending time in the hot tub watching the stars and seeing the Milky Way. Doing yoga on the terrace with the mountains and sea in view. Memories to last a lifetime. The chalet itself was finished to such a high standard. Couldn’t fault it. We stayed with our 4 and 1 year old and all provisions were supplied to make the stay with little ones possible and easygoing. Highly recommend a stay at Mountain View.
