About this Holiday House
Since we offered Horizon House as a holiday rental just after it was completed in 2021 all our reviews have been exclusively 5 stars. The house has remained fresh due to our own imposed limit on the bookings we accept. It is the perfect location for a special weekend getaway, romantic couples retreat or simply a place to relax and rejuvenate with friends. We offer you a spacious and warm modern house with a beautiful interior, comfortable bedrooms and luxurious en-suites. It’s a short 3 min walk to the golden sandy beach and surfers break at Campbell’s Bay. Or just step onto the South facing deck and relax on the outdoor seating (beautiful blankets provided to snuggle under) and look out to Campbell’s Bay, All Day Bay, Moeraki and the South Pacific Ocean beyond.
From sunrise to sunset the living area in Horizon House is flooded with natural light. Open the sliding doors in the main living area to the East for the beautiful sun rises or open them up to the South for the afternoon sun and sunset over the Kakanui Ranges. There are two spacious living areas on the first floor along with a fantastic modern hosting kitchen, coffee machine, hot chocolate maker, large cold water and ice dispensing fridge, contemporary dining area and 1 of the 3 bathrooms. An additional guest is able to sleep on the king single pullout sofa bed with a goose down duvet. Keeping you warm up here is the sun shining through the floor to ceiling windows, the wood burner (wood provided) and a heat pump.
Downstairs the hallway leads to the 2 en-suite bedrooms which are the same size and layout and are heated by contemporary wall hung column radiators. Both have King sized beds made with top quality linen, including king pillows and New Zealand made wool duvets. There is a large built in wardrobe with plenty of hanging space available in both rooms. Subtle sensor lighting guides you to the generous en-suite where there are large walk-in glass surround showers, underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Also downstairs there are radiators heating the entrance hallway and the fully equipped laundry. Whatever the weather, cold is not optional here!
