Well-designed home near the ocean
We had a great stay at the Kakanui Cube. The house is well-designed, modern, clean, with all the amenities you need (laundry, sharp knives, comfortable bed, plenty of space). We slept so well with the sea air nearby, and woke up early each morning to catch the magnificent sunrises. Equally enjoyable are the sunsets — the way Kakanui is situated you can enjoy both over the ocean. The house is in a rural area so WiFi bandwidth can be an issue — it may not be practical to expect to be on zoom calls or stream video for several hours a day.

Christmas in Kakanui
Lovely property. Looks exactly like the pictures online. The nearby beach is really nice. Easy walk to get there. We did Learn to Surf Kakanui, which was a highlight of our trip. The Cube was so perfect for our family. We loved our stay. Thank you!

Modern masterpiece with incredible views
We very much enjoyed the quietness of the neighbourhood, the great views, the super comfortable beds, fabulous bathroom, the architecture of the home. Everything was there to make our stay comfortable and very pleasant. We did yoga with a view.

Wonderful spot
Loved the place. Very smart and beautifully furnished. Loved watching the waves roll by. Kakanui is a very quaint little spot. Only issue is that from the photos I thought there was direct access to the beach from the house but that wasn't a problem other than managing expectations. Highly recommend it!
