Apartment vacation rentals in South Bay

Beautiful lakefront view stay...Nice n tidy rooms ..Great Communication from Poppy n Chrissy..I highly recommend this place..

My friend and I had a great time at this airbnb in Kaikōura! The place was super clean and we loved the way it was decorated - very fitting for this lovely beach town. Jason was proactive, friendly, and an amazing host! We would definitely want to stay here again when we come back in summer season. Thanks for a great stay!!

Of all the places I have stayed this one might be the nicest. Absolutely beautifully decorated with every amenity you could want. The beds were really comfortable with little extras like electric bed warmers and a heater in the bathroom. It was quiet with a spectacular view of the ocean. This is a special place.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, modern, warm property. House had everything you need and more. Great central location with beautiful ocean views! Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Host was wonderful!

Absolutely spectacular in every way! By far the best place we’ve ever stayed in. We had dreadful weather during our stay which meant going out was not an option, but with a place like this it didn’t matter a bit. We were cosy and had everything we needed and watched the waves crash and the wild weather all day long from the amazing big windows. The views are incredible and that’s with limited visibility so can only imagine how stunning they are on a good day! Cannot recommend this place highly enough, we’d love to return one day. Thank you so much ☺️

Absolutely wow—Kaikoura might just be my favorite town in the world, and DeArna and Stan are the kindest hosts I’ve ever met! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home and at peace. The house is spacious, cozy, and perfectly located—close to everything you’d want to do in Kaikoura. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower had steady, hot water. I had the pleasure of meeting both hosts—Stan even brought by some delicious fruit On the morning of checkout, I ran into car trouble right before a scheduled tour. Stan came right over to help and, when time was tight, he didn’t hesitate to offer me a ride so I wouldn’t miss it. That tour ended up being one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life—swimming with dolphins. I also got to see sperm whales earlier in my stay from both air and sea. Truly one of the best visits I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend this town, this place, and these hosts enough—thank you, DeArna and Stan!

This apartment opening out onto the beautiful Kaikoura Bay was fantastic. We awoke to a beautiful sunrise both mornings from our bedroom. The apartment was Immaculately presented with attention to detail in all aspects. It boasts quality fittings, towels, linen etc. Proximity to the local picture theater allowed me to nip next door to watch 'Tina' which I thoroughly loved. Walking distance to restraunts. Very, very good value for money.

Thank you Lynette, we really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect spot to watch the sea and easy walking into town. The apartment was super clean and was well equipped for our stay over the Easter weekend. We would be more than happy to come and stay again.

Great place to stay in Kaikoura. Neat , clean and with great views of the sea and within walking distance of the beach. Near city centre. Will recommend to friends and stay here again if an opportunity presents itself.

Outstanding!! Wonderful place to stay for a great price. VERY clean and perfect location. Will definitely stay there again!!

After a long drive and ferry we needed that sleep and it was exactly what we needed, beautiful place

Absolutely loved this place and Poppy is wonderful! Would HUGHLY recommend staying here! The washer/dryer also works great!

Great little stop off, nicely renovated, would happily stay again.

The accommodations were just as described and comfortable. Centrally located and within walking distance of city center. Washer and dryer do require change, and they are single units, so plan accordingly.

Easy to find and lots of birds!

It's an amazing place to stay! Well located, tidy and clean. All the amenities are so useful. I strongly recommend.

Really spacious and comfortable motel accommodation. Well equipped and very friendly and helpful management on site. Can highly recommend a dolphin encounter cruise. Absolutely amazing!

This airbnb is like a motel. ours had 2 good sized bedrooms and there was plenty of room inside for the three of us. All facilities were good. Shower was good. Kitchen utensils if you want to cook. It was clean and had everything we needed. The lady on the desk was very friendly and helpful when we arrived
