Hear from some of our visitors
“We had a great stay in Hāpuku, we really enjoyed use of the spa for stargazing on the night we stayed. Beautiful location!”
- Charlotte (Bay of Plenty, NZ)
“Breath taking views, Hosts were very friendly and had great communication. My daughter loved how friendly the pigs were and love the playground to play on.”
- Chandra
“The view will never be disappointed. It was absolutely Such a stunning place to getaway with your love ones or friends. The owner host was so friendly and easy to communicate.”
- Wydia
“The views of the mountains are breath taking. there are some extremely friendly pigs around. since it got chilly, the hot tab was such a delight. the surf is just around the corner. Tessa was very friendly and kind. I honestly love this place!”
- Ola (Christchurch, NZ)
“Locations great, right by the beach and a 10 minute drive into town. The hut was cosy, cute and the bed was super comfy. The views were fantastic, you can wake up and see the mountains while lying in bed. We loved the spa and the peaceful surroundings. Can’t wait to stay again. Thanks Tessa and Korey.”
- Harrison (Canterbury, NZ)
“Great stay. Hosts were very friendly. Place was nice and tidy. Thanks.”
- Benjamin (Wellington, NZ)
“Great place, amazing location and very private. Would love to stay there again. Tessa and Korey are fantastic hosts and made us feel right at home.”
- Hamish (Blenheim, NZ)
“This unique stay is incredibly special and relaxing. With ocean views one way, and the Kaikōura ranges on the other, you can’t complain about the location at all. The facilities provided were clean and tidy, perfect for meeting the needs of two people. Access to a spa in the serenity of Hāpuku is a drawcard and I would highly recommend this stay to anyone who loves nature and wants a slightly different stay to the usual BnB, hotel or motel. Tessa and Korey were great at communicating and lovely hosts who give you plenty of privacy. :)”
- Lily (Oamaru, NZ)
“Very tidy and comfortable, beautiful surroundings, would definitely go back!”
- Emma (Christchurch, NZ)
“This is one of our favourite NZ Air BnB's ever! Beautiful view in the morning, super friendly hosts, spa pool and viewing platform, what’s not to love. ”
- Waveney (Christchurch, NZ)
“It was just my son and I traveling NZ to celebrate graduating high school in the US. I’m originally from Christchurch so had a well planned schedule of “must visit” places in New Zealand. This was another perfect place to stay - great hosts, amazing location, our favourite pigs in the paddock next store, and comfortable accommodations. If you’re in Kaikōura to swim with dolphins or whale watch then this is a great place to stay the night before. Definitely recommend Dolphin Encounters - simply nothing quite like swimming with 400+ dolphins in the open ocean!”
- Simon (Arlington, VA)
“Really awesome spot right by the surf. Cosy stay with an awesome view of the mountains. Tessa and Korey were lovely and very generous hosts. They made us feel very welcome and sorted us out a kennel for our dog. Looked after us with the wet weather giving us crayfish, board games and hot chocolate! Would recommend!”
- Kerri (Christchurch, NZ)
“Such a great spot. Check in was easy and Tessa was lovely! The cabin is well equipped and the view of the mountains from the window was incredible ❤️”
