Beach Front | Games Room | Central Location

This home offers stunning Mountain and Beach views. Dolphins and seals often cruise past along the coast. The occasional whale can also be spotted for those with an eagle eye. Nestled right next to the beach with private access and still very central to Kaikōura. Please keep in mind this home is a classic kiwi bach that comes with some character and usual wear and tear with Bach style accomodation. There is still plenty of good times to be had in this home with family and friends!
