About this property

Watch the weather roll in along the coast with sea views from every room.

  • Relax at the edge of the sea in beautiful Kakanui. Overlooking Campbells Bay with sea views from every room, we offer a comfortable and cosy experience. With therapeutic sounds of the beach within walking distance, and historic Oamaru only 14kms away, you can enjoy a bit of both worlds.

    A 1970s crib that has been extended over time, resulting in a quirky layout with three interconnected bedrooms that come off the lounge (no hallway), and is most suitable for families or close friends.

    Please note: the house has old fittings and carpet so that animals can stay. Still very comfortable though :)

    Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90 per stay); Linen (included);

Million dollar oceanfront view

Lovely house with oceanfront view just as pictured we loved everything about it, decor was lovely with a coastal vibe and sunroom was my favorite spot. Would highly recommend staying there. Host was gracious and let us check out late to max out our stay.

Loved the 70s Kiwi Bach!

Loved the authentic kiwi Bach overlooking the ocean. This well loved home had everything we needed to cook our own meals, sleep in comfortable beds and enjoy being in a Bach ! We loved being in a quiet rural countryside and enjoyed the ability to walk to the beach and seaside path. Would definitely stay again!

Real holiday

This “quirky” residence lived up to that description. A real retro feel but for us and 2 dogs it all worked out very well. Needed to be tech savvy to use TV etc. location great especially in regard to the sea - lots of beach walks available

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!
