    Anyone who visits New Zealand should stay in this magical hideaway. It is the best property we have ever stayed in and Craig is the most amazing host.

    We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing stay at Sky Harbour. The house has a timeless character and its beautiful location in the countryside outside of Kaikoura was very peaceful, with gorgeous views out over the farm field to the ocean and walking trails through the forest just steps from your door. Craig kindly provided welcoming provisions of bread, fresh eggs & fruit and jams. The house was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed cooking simple meals .The four poster bed was extremely comfortable and walking to those views nourished the soul, and was a beautiful start to any day. Would love to stay again!

    We absolutely loved our stay here. Was so quiet, so many wild birds flying around us and the view was amazing. We highly recommend this superb, unique property and we will come back longer next time. Make sure you book ahead for dinner at Hapuku Kitchen to the Friday Supper Club. It was the best time ever.

    The cottage is quite charming, with a fabulous view of the surrounding countryside as well as the ocean. We loved being able to eat in when we were too tired to go out. Craig has done a great job of providing everything needed.

    This is a wonderful cottage, and perfect for a couple who want a quiet location tucked up in the foothills with a view of Kaikoura and the peninsula. Such beautiful countryside, and right next to a good loop trail hiking track in the woods. The cottage is nicely designed, well maintained, and is a very comfortable place to relax. There isn't a proper stovetop, which at first seemed a big negative; however, the hot plate suffices and we used the bar-b-que's side burner to cook lamb chops one night and steam mussels the second night. The decks off the upper level bedroom are a great place to share a glass of wine and enjoy the views ( mountain view from one deck, and ocean/peninsula view on the other). The owner, who lives nearby, is super friendly and dropped by once to make sure all was well. My wife and I hope to return in the future. Top!

    Amazing location, gorgeous cottage. Cosy and very comfortable. Everything you need is here and more! Fresh eggs, milk, great local coffee and lemons provided by our amazing hosts! Best time was spent sitting on the balcony enjoying coffee, bumblebees, bunnies and fan tails. My husband and I had the best sleep we have had in years! Thank you.
