    Location- top of hill. Owners very accomodating after Booking .com double booked me and I had nowhere to stay- offered their motorhome and added little treats and comforts. Bent over backwards to help.

This lovely 2-storey home sits above Kaikoura town on the Peninsula. Majestic Seaward Kaikoura mountains are framed by native plantings, with Pacific Ocean sparkling below. Enjoy breakfast or a peaceful rest on your private garden deck, that offers supurb views of the distant hills, impressive mountains, and enormous sky and Pacific Ocean. With all day sun and convenient kitchenette, table and bar leaner, you'll be comfortable in any weather. You are invited to book one bedroom only, or book two rooms (King+Queen). (Please see separate listing for Queen room). Each room has access to garden and views of the sea. The King room, slightly larger, has wonderful mountain views, too. Note that the amenities are the same in each room. If you book one room, no other bookings will be accepted, so the downstairs area and bathroom are all yours. This home is in a short cul-de-sac, with generous on-site parking.
Dean and Lindy welcome you to share this magic location, so close to all the wildlife and scenic features that make Kaikoura so special. Hosts live upstairs, but you will have private access to your room(s) downstairs, each room individually locked. Also your own bathroom. Laundry facilities are available upon request for a small extra charge.
Dover Terrace sits atop the beautiful Kaikoura Peninsula. Take a short walk to join various tracks to town, South Bay or stroll down the peninsula to the famous Seal Colony walk, beach-caravan eateries and Charli's Bar. All less than half an hour one-way by walking, or a short drive. Ask hosts about suitable tracks depending on your time and energy levels, there's much to explore. Kaikoura has all the amenities including large supermarket, small hospital, pharmacy and a range of restaurants. In 2024, Kaikoura Dark Sky Trust officially achieved International Dark Sky status. An easy 350m (6 min) walk gets you to the famous Kaikoura Lookout, great for photographers, day or night. Activities around town include Whale, Dolphin or Albatross tours; seals are plentiful and photogenic. Fishing charters, zipline, scenic flights and much more. There's plenty to see for the casual holiday shopper, too.
