The house is absolutely quiet just a few steps from the beach. The view of the sea through the large panoramic windows is gigantic. Everything is perfectly clean and furnished in a perfection as we have never experienced before. Liz's description doesn't come close to that. Great beds and mattresses, kitchen equipment at its finest. Liz: You don't rent such a great house, you live in it yourself! Thank you very much for letting us spend a few days there!

Summary: Probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. Unbelievably comfortable (layout great with bedrooms on ground floor-each with own en-suite-and upstairs living room, media area, kitchen and outdoor deck with superb views of the ocean and cliffs. 5 minute walk to Campbell Bay Reserve surfing beach. Immaculately clean and well supplied. Owner Liz is a jewel to work with-the most welcoming hostess ever!!!

Summary: We spent 3 very happy weeks staying in Liz’s beautiful home in Kakanui. Everything was top quality from furniture to dishes to bedding. Kakanui is a quiet and charming resort community. The house has panoramic ocean views and an extensive upped deck. We went 15 minutes north to Oamaru for groceries and restaurants. This is an excellent location from which to explore the South Island. We loved every minute of our stay in this top quality home.

Summary: Driving up to the house is OK, but entering the house is amazing, then you go upstairs and the place has stunning vistas over the ocean in both directions. Massive triple ranch sliders open to a deck. Well appointed kitchen, with all the mod cons. The one thing that cannot be captured in any review is the wonderful calmness of the property, and the beautiful smells from the luxury oils around the place. It really is a magic pace to stay. The bedrooms have beatiful linen and very comfortable beds, the ensuite's off both bedrooms are fantastic, and if you really want to Poo with a view, you can upstairs in the bathroom overlooking the ocean. The glass is clear so you might want to be mindful of that! An easy walk to the beach, so if you have any thoughts of staying in Kakanui, this really is the place to stay. We had Christmas Day here and it was magic, kids had a surf Christmas morning with Dolphins! We watched a pod move further out while we had coffee on the deck. Thank you Liz for sharing your beautiful property, we had a wonderful time.

Summary: This property did not disappoint in winter. You can crank up the fire. Get the hot chocolate churning while you run a relaxing bath made into something special with bath salts and essential oils. The radiators in the bedroom have you cosy all night long. Whether you want to relax on the couch and watch a movie, or a glass of wine and watch the moody skies roll by you will be wrapped up in comfort. Its a great spot to come home to after a bracing winter walk on the beach. We have now stayed both summer and winter and this property does not disappoint.
