Beachfront holiday rentals in Waipapa Bay

beautiful house, close to town, great bath, has 3 bedrooms all with double beds. a lot of trucks go past at night, which is a shame, i found sleeping in the bedroom closer to the back of the house dampers the noise. we had a lovely time visting though and would again

We had a lovely stay in this little Bach. Beautiful views and a great holiday feel. The beds were very comfortable! Kitchen was amazing - enjoyed the gas hob and the dishwasher.

It was a great place to stay for a night, the ships did not wake us at all. Recommended.

beautiful views, great location, deck with lovely outdoor seating area

A magical spot to get away with family to relax and recharge. We loved the view and watching the seals and dolphins each day. Nice and close to Kaikōura for food and coffee and biking.

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

My partner and I absolutely loved everything about our stay. The views were incredible, the lounge was cosy especially with the fire place going. We would really love to make our way back at some stage, so we can stay longer! Thanks so much for the accommodation:) Shannon, Gareth and Jacob

Such a lovely stay! Location was perfect and walk along the beach was beautiful. Short drive into the town centre which had great food selection. Accommodation was modern and clean. Comfy bed and just a great vibe overall.

Fiona was so welcoming and friendly. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous - just as in the photos. A really special and beautiful home in the most amazing location - literally across the road from the beach. The apartment was filled with welcoming and thoughtful gestures including Easter eggs and hot cross buns, as well as fruit, milk and bread (on top of a well-stocked pantry). Would highly recommend and would love to return.

We had a great stay thanks

We loved staying here. Sean and Skip have done a wonderful job restoring the factory to make it super comfortable, including under floor heating and indoor fire for cold wintery days. It's just across the road from the beach and we opened the windows at night and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep. Sean took time with us on arrival to show us all the things about the house and was super responsive to a query we had after that. We loved the outdoor fire pit (and the super sized marshmallows for toasting!) and sitting in the spa looking at the stars was beautiful. We didn't realise that there are two parts to the factory and that they can be joined together for a larger group, but appreciate that Sean and Skip only ever book one side (or it as a whole) at a time so you aren't sharing it with strangers. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

This place is paradise !! I had such a good time , it’s beautiful and so peaceful . A great place to recharge the battery . This was the best holiday I have had in a long time although it was only brief I would definitely come back . I will recommend this place to all my friends and family . Thank you for having me at your little touch of paradise !

Well appointed, neat and tidy little palace that suited our 3 night stay in Kaikōura. For the size of the dwelling it was still comfortable for a family of 4 and provided suitable privacy. James was a great host that communicated well and provides an appropriate compendium with up to date local guidance. Enjoyed the cheeky beers and bubbles upon arrival. Would return in the future.

This little gem was in a great location, close to the beach and walking distance into town, coffee shops and restaurants. It was peaceful, being down a little driveway and overlooking a beautiful garden, but you can still hear the ocean. The place was neat, clean, warm and perfect for the two of us. We met Kevin who was informative, friendly and welcoming. It was perfect for a weekend away for some relaxing and exploring the area. Hope to be back soon…we did not want to leave!
