    About this property

    Entire place

    You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

    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);

    Arrived to find a building site
    Booked 12 months in advance as part of a present for my wife. I received check-in details two days before arrival. When we arrived, the house was surrounded by scaffolding, was missing windows, had warning signs for live wires, and had builders on-site doing extensive internal repairs. It was entirely uninhabitable and the builders had no knowledge of our booking. Host didn't answer multiple phone calls from me or bookabach customer support. Eventually got a refund, but with no other places available, we ended up having to sleep 4 people in our car.

    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.

    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

    Excellent would have liked to stay longer
    First of all don’t you have older people stay three girls all in our eighties. No sure about about chrome cast a lot of folk couldn’t work that what is wrong with turning on the tv and getting a signal. Couldn’t get the electric blanket to work in the double bed room still a hot water bottled worked fine. Had a lovely stay and spent a lot of dollars in oamaru
