Book a Waipapa Bay Cottage

"Enjoyable and convenient stay near dolphin, orca and seal watching. "

"We, including our little furry boy Maximus, have become regular visitors to this gorgeous, tranquil little piece of heaven. Lynn once again went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. We highly recommend Sleepers Vineyard if what you are looking for is to relax, enjoy quality time with your furr babies and drink some of the best wines whilst enjoying Louis the pig, the girls and chucks."

"Nice spot , lots to see with boats coming n going . Accomodation was great with no complaints at all."

"Everything you could ever want is here :) It was all so neat and tidy. It is a lovely, quiet location. To open up the curtains in the morning to the ocean and the Southern Alps is just breathtaking, not to mention seeing dolphins in the bay as well. It was a shame to have to go home and we would definitely want to stay here should we ever be down that way again. An absolutely amazing place to stay :)"

"Amazing accomodation, hostess meeting us at the gate entry late at night. Very clean and well set out abode. Lovely beds. Hostess, Veronica, directed us to excellent restaurant, would not hestitate to stay again."

"Very tidy and well equipped, everything you need for a for a weekend away."

"Kaikoura was wonderful, our favorite spot in our trip, thanks to a kayak trip surrounded by dolphins and some great food. Judy's house is perfectly located, 3-4 minutes from restaurants, grocery store and the town. She is very friendly. Downsides - internet was a little spotty and dryer doesn't work so well, but the home is still a bargain."

"The property was easy to find, views from deck awesome. Had lots of walks on the beach, meeting the friendly locals (seals). Didnt see any people. Train track right next store - added character to the house!!"

"Cozy cottage to stay and a host that is a delight to deal with. Judy was very helpful on telling us about the local areas to go to as well as tips on where to buy lobsters! Our little Archie(pooch) has made friends with Judy’s Charlie(yet another pooch). He didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay. Funny that! Thanks Judy"

"Lovely spot to spend a few days in the Kaikoura region. Perfectly appointed with everything we needed. Thanks for being such a great host, Tom. We’ll return as soon as the wind blows us back across the Tasman!"

"this house is an easy stroll to the town center and beach. it is a gorgeous dwelling that is tastefully decorated and aesthetically pleasing. property manager was very helpful and came by the place within minutes to help troubleshoot how to get the stove on. hope we get a chance to return in the future."

"Lovely place with easy access to the beach. Extremely quiet and dark, allowing for great stargazing. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Friendly host who quickly explained everything and was available for questions via text. Would definitely return the next time we’re near Kaikoura. "

"Thank you Sarah for your hospitality. This lovely cottage had everything you need for a quiet relaxing stay."

"We absolutely loved our stay here. Was so quiet, so many wild birds flying around us and the view was amazing. We highly recommend this superb, unique property and we will come back longer next time. Make sure you book ahead for dinner at Hapuku Kitchen to the Friday Supper Club. It was the best time ever."

"such a beautiful place. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting to stay in kaikōura."
