Cubby House Stay Kaikoura, hotel in Kaikoura

Cubby House Stay Kaikoura is a recently renovated vacation home in Kaikoura where guests can make the most of the garden and barbecue facilities.

This was the second time we stayed at the cubby house because we loved it so much the first time we had to come back with our friends to celebrate a few birthdays! The owners always go above and beyond with everything and are so friendly. We had the most amazing stay watching the aurora lights and visiting all the farm animals. Can’t recommend this place enough for a weekend away with friends, huge place with lots of space for everyone to do their own thing.

    This place was fantastic!! Brilliant location, lovely views and a very well presented and modern property. One of the best holiday homes I have stayed in. This will definitely be on my list of must stays when in the area again, and will recommend to everyone. Lovely and clean also. We didn't use the fire but was lovely and warm with the heaters going. Beds were extremely comfortable also.
