Situated in Akaroa and only 400 metres from Akaroa Beach, Blythcliffe features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a terrace. Rooms include a patio with garden views. The room is beautifully decorated and full of character, and the garden is just lovely. In the little creek behind the garden lives an eel who’s very close to the host, John — she’s surprisingly smart, and loves interacting with people. I highly recommend saying hello to her!

Boasting sea views, The Hamptons features accommodation with a garden, a terrace and barbecue facilities, around 60 metres from Kaikoura Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides luggage storage space and a housekeeping service for guests. Everything was perfect! We got a very warm welcome by the host, Patrick. The unit we stayed was very clean & equipped with a private bathroom. We're from Malaysia and all the heating equipment in the room is purely life saver during winter! View and location? Perfect! Beach is just across the street - you'll sleep and wake up with a stunning view. Food? Perfect! Patrick prepared breakfast for his guests and we were served in his dining room, and you eat with another view :) Bread made by Patrick and cookies made by Mary-Clare are amazing too! Price is a bit on the high side, if we're visiting Kaikoura in the near future, we'll definitely go with this place again. It was nice meeting you, Patrick - and thanks for your hospitality!
