About Us - Kaikoura Sea Escape

Welcome to our little bit of paradise

“Welcome to our little bolt hole in Kaikoura. It’s a great spot for relaxing from our Marlborough tourism businesses when we can, but when we can’t then we want others to be able to enjoy the tranquility that Kaikoura Sea Escape provides.”

Jess, Dean, daughter Aleisha, and our dogs Luna and Snowflake

We know how important it is to take your pets with you when you travel – and how hard it is to find somewhere to stay with them. Our place provides a safe fenced area for them to enjoy without being locked up.

Verified We had a lovely, relaxing stay! The house was clean, modern, and comfortable, with beautiful sea and mountain views. We especially enjoyed the sunny deck and peaceful coastal setting. The home was well equipped with everything we needed, and its proximity to the beach was a great bonus. We would happily stay here again!

Comfy beds. Great evenings around the BBQ. Kids loved the swing and hammock. Border Collies loved the spacious garden (Bob was very well behaved!). Would happily go again.

Verified What a fabulous place, perfect location very close to the beach, walkways and the pier hotel. Less than 5 minutes away from the township. The views of both the mountains and sea were just perfect to wake up too. Being pet friendly and the property fully fenced and secure for Ted our Border Terrier was such a bonus. Also our early check in was appreciated. Very clean and tidy! Had everything we needed. Jess was a wonderful host, fast, great communication and super friendly! Highly recommend this home. Thankyou we will be back again in the Summer.

Verified Fantastic home with everything you need. We really enjoyed relaxing here, the property gets a decent amount of sun, and the outlook from the balcony is lovely. Gret indoor / outdoor flow. The location is fantastic. You are a short drive to town or you can walk from the house to the Pier Hotel for a lovely meal & drink.

Verified We had a wonderful stay at Jess's place. It's perfect for families! There are so many toys; our child was thrilled and kept happily occupied. The view from the accommodation is fantastic, the garden is beautiful, and the surroundings are peaceful. The kitchen was superbly equipped, and the apartment was cozy. Communication with Jess was also excellent.

Fabulous out door living space for entertaining either on the deck enjoying the views or in the private garden BBQ area, with plenty of space. The accommodation is well appointed, modern beach style decor, clean, fresh and comfortable. Pier Hotel just down the road and the opposite way is boat launching beach and coffee, gelato and refreshment stands, something for everyone. This is truly a magical place.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a splendid time in Kaikoura here at sea escape, so close to the sea, beautiful fresh air and a lovely safe garden to enjoy it all. Really close to the shops, restaurants to the north and seal colony to the south which was ideal for little legs. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks for having us 5⭐️. 🦭 🦞 🐋 🍺 🚢
