Kaikoura Fishing Retreat, not just for fishing!!!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Its perfectly positioned a block back from the Marina Boat Ramp approx 400m and Locals Boat Ramp approx 200m. Tucked back in off the road it offers a long straight driveway for easy off street boat parking with a gate to shut away your pride and joy. Kaikoura Fishing Retreat offers an awesome outdoor area with lights and heaters setup in the ceiling for celebrating the great days fishing and a huge BBQ for cooking it!!!

House was clean and well located.Unfortunately there was no coffee, no soap for shower (but there was shampoo), and we were left 3/4 of one roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 2 days. Toilet paper is a basic thing. If there was a second roll, we have zero idea of where it was and we each looked.

Kaikora south beach

Really loved the location. Had never seen this part of Kaikora before. The sea was so calm and looked beatiful the day we arrived. Just a 2 min walk away. House was great, had everthing we needed.
