About the property:
Whether you are looking for relaxation, nature, excitement, art, history and culture, or fine wines and cuisine, Kaikoura offers it all.
Kaikoura township is located on a rocky peninsula, protruding from lush farmland beneath the mountains. In the waters off the peninsula, a complex marine system provides an abundantly rich habitat for marine mammals and seabirds making it an ideal place for getting 'close to nature'.
This unique combination of ocean and mountains offers stunning coastal alpine scenery and a host of eco-tourism oriented activities, including Whale watching, Dolphin swimming, walks, and much more!
Six kilometers north of Kaikoura on the main road, Kincaid Lodge has the relaxed private ambience of the country and easy access to all the award winning attractions and restaurants in Kaikoura.
The homestead has recently been refurbished to provide charming accommodation including four guest suites each with their own ensuite, one with a spa bath. All rooms are individually decorated with a casual blend of elegance and comfort.
Having travelled extensively, your hosts understand the desire for simple home cooking which is why an evening meal is offered. Crayfish (Lobster) is the local speciality & it is caught fresh everyday. All produce is local & very fresh. Wine is also a passion and your hosts will be delighted to introduce you to their favourite New Zealand wines. A selection of soft drinks, spirits and local beer are also available.
