Dunluce Coastal Farmstay - Kaikoura Holiday Home

If you’re seeking a peaceful departure from the pace of modern life, this is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories.

Set on a generous beachfront property, Dunluce invites you to gather with family or friends in a homestead brimming with rustic charm. You’ll be greeted with fresh farm-grown produce on arrival - a warm country welcome that sets the tone for your stay. The open-plan living spaces are relaxed and inviting, centred around a large fireplace where wine and conversation flow easily into the evening.

Cook up local flavours in the spacious farm kitchen and enjoy meals in the formal dining room or alfresco on the terrace under jacaranda branches. Hear native birdsong, feel the ocean breeze, and let the serene vistas restore your senses.

Dunluce accommodates up to 15 guests across six uniquely styled bedrooms. Inside, you’ll find two full bathrooms, a rumpus room, and a summer pool and hot tub for all-season relaxation. There’s also BBQ facilities, TV, Wi-Fi, and plenty of gear storage for bikes or beach pursuits.

The property features a private beach area, framed by breathtaking coastal views and gentle waves. In this setting, you can hunt for driftwood, watch dolphins, seals, or even whales, or simply unwind by the sea. Kaikōura township is 60 km to the south, while Blenheim lies 80 km to the north - perfect for day trips to explore one of New Zealand’s top wineries.

At night, marvel at the Kaikōura Dark Sky, where the pristine skies offer unparalleled stargazing. Guests can enjoy the sparkling constellations from the property, making for a truly magical coastal escape.

Dunluce Coastal Farmstay is your peaceful coastal haven - a place to escape, breathe, and live simply in a hidden gem of New Zealand’s rugged coastline.
