Sunny Coastal Crib – Relaxing Getaway for Families & Friends
Soak up all-day sun at this welcoming corner-section crib in peaceful Kakanui. With glimpses of both river and sea, it’s the perfect spot for families or friends to unwind and explore.
You're just a short stroll to the river mouth and Campbells Bay Beach – ideal for swimming, beachcombing, or stone-skimming. If you're lucky, you might even spot a seal.
Bring your surfboard – Campbells Bay often has a great swell!
The home offers:
* 3 Bedrooms: • 1 x Queen bed • 1 x Double bed • 3 x Single beds – great for kids
* Wood burner fire – keeps the place warm and cozy in cooler months
* Fibre WiFi – perfect for remote work, streaming, or staying connected
* Fully fenced BBQ area (summer use only) – perfect for evening meals in the sun
* New carpet throughout – soft and warm underfoot
* Comfortable, relaxed living space for quality time together
Enjoy the small-town charm:
* Stroll the riverside track to pick up famous Kakanui tomatoes.
* Grab an ice cream at the local store.
* Take a short 20-minute drive to Oamaru’s historic Precinct – explore heritage buildings, shops, and steampunk fun.
* Visit Moeraki, just a short drive away, for fresh blue cod at the tavern or book a fishing charter for a day out on the water
This sunny, peaceful retreat is a great base for creating simple, special memories by the sea — all year round.
