Fodor's Expert Review Surfwatch Getaway Cottages

1137 State Hwy. 1, Kaikoura, Canterbury, 7371, New Zealand

Located 12 minutes north of town, this property is perched high on the cliffs with spectacular Pacific Ocean views all the way to the horizon. Closer in watch surfers and dolphins shooting the waves. Four self-contained cottages, each artfully built and decorated, sleep from two to six people and are arranged with private access and private spaces. Oceanview Chalet lives up to its name. but the views up the back to the Seaward Kaikoura range ain't bad either. 

PROS

  • views from the B&B suite are exceptional
  • 5-acre property is also a small farm
  • lots of handcrafted furniture and wood detail

CONS

  • really steep access road
  • opens off a fast stretch of coastal highway so take care crossing the road
  • out of town
