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!

Laken Faber
We had the most amazing stay here in Kakanui. The house is absolutely stunning, cosy and clean. Panoramic views of the beautiful surrounding coastline and just a very short walk to the beach. It has everything you could possibly need and more! Cannot recommend enough!
Phil and Rosie Jones
We cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful, stylish house. The emphasis is on luxury, as well as comfort,. The large entrance hallway has an impressive staircase, with feature lighting, leading to the first floor. We loved the downstairs sleeping arrangement, with en-suite bedrooms, which allows the spacious, open-plan, upstairs living accommodation to take full advantage of the amazing ocean views. (There is even an extra bathroom with a view upstairs.) Liz has provided everything you need, including a fabulous, modern kitchen with all appliances. The location is perfect for exploring the stunning coastline and visiting the Moeraki Boulders. A truly memorable stay!
Joanna Bulleid
Lovely house, wonderful views, comfortable furniture, good lighting for reading, beautifully appointed with everything you could need, and host Liz could not have been more helpful. We hope to return. Whoops, I shouldn't have said all that, it will probably be booked out next time we want it! 🤭
Response from Owner
Many thanks Jo for your 5 star review. You did make chuckle! House left clean and tidy - much appreciated. I’m preparing for your next stay! Liz
