Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South Bay

We loved the peaceful area, absolutely breathtaking views, outdoor tub and unreal sunrises from the cabin. We loved unplugging, quick trips to check the surf and the slow comfort of the space. Fantails came to visit daily and the stargazing was awesome. Truly a special space and we hope to return someday!

Jennifer's place home away home. Felt so comfortable away from home. Each and every thing, she has given importance for the comfort of residents. One need not worry about any thing. She is a wonderful host, waited for us to reach the place and given all the information needed for us and left. She has maintained that place so neat and comfy. We would love to return to Kaikura and stay in Jennifer's place and also recommend this place for every one. Home away home. Wonderful break fast with lots of variety and no one is left out in that spread. She has even taken care of small details for us, when we reached so late. Thank you Jennifer for the hospitality and god bless you.

Such a stunning stay, Susie’s place was warm and cosy with an elevated feel. The special touches were appreciated and were the best we’ve ever received at an Airbnb. Thanks Susie!

Love love love this wee cottage. I would buy it if it was for sale! It had everything we needed, beautifully renovated, lovely decor, ultra clean and very comfy beds. A private and peaceful country setting, with the sound of the sea in the distance and native birds close by. Especially loved the outdoor swing seats to sit and admire the fabulous views and the lights of Kaikoura in the evening. We will be back.

Georgia’s place is a beautiful place with a stunning lake view. We really enjoyed the stay.

We loved our stay here! The view from the property is stunning, I really enjoyed sitting and watching the mountains in the evening! Lovely and spacious too and the private parking was a bonus!

Nice enough and plenty of space - but considerably more expensive than other airbnbs on our South Island trip.

We loved our stay at Graham’s home. Easy to find with parking onsite. It had everything we needed. Also the location was great, highly recommend a sunset walk to go see the seals on the coastal trails very close by!

This a clean, spacious, and warm place to stay and it's right on the main road into town. would have liked to stay another night but it was all booked out.

Absolutely incredible in all aspects. Location was mind blowing, snow capped mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Inside the cottage is beautiful, well thought out, high spec and pristine. Extremely quiet, private and peaceful. Bed is super comfy, not one bad word to say about the place. 5000/10 absolutely recommend. We'll be going back without a doubt.

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.

Poppy’s place was in a perfect location—right across from the beach and just a short walk to the city center. The room was modern, spotless, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Communication with Poppy was smooth and easy, and she was very accommodating to our special requests. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to others.

Lovely little spot off the main road, super easy to find, yet extremely quiet and peaceful. Easy walk into the heart of Kaikoura. Perfect for a little get away.

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.

We had such a wonderful time here - what a location! The view from the back was gorgeous and we also had a mooch in the garden (stunning). The house was a great size for us and had pretty much everything we needed. Chris even left locally caught fish for us to take to the local chippie - was the best fish and chips I have had! Such a wonderful time - Kaikoura is just stunning! Thank you!

Great location, stunning views, and easy access to the lookout as well as only being a short way from town. Easy check in and a lovely place to stay!
