Located on two landscaped acres surrounded by mountains, farmlands and views to the peninsula, Te Mahuru Retreat is just a 5-minute drive to Whale Watch Kaikoura.



✓ Fresh eggs fort breakfast, choice of cereals, fruit, toast, and we could have made plunger coffee had we not been heading into town for coffee. Perfect. LOVED setting and view of the mountains and the alpacas and pigs in the paddock next door.
✗ Liked everything. I think that staying in the separate cottage made it even better and would ask for the cottage in future.
✓ The location afforded stunning views of the mountains. The hosts were friendly and professional.
✓ If you are fortunate enough to stay at Te Mahuru, go for as long as possible- you won't want to leave. The retreat is beautiful & the scenery is jaw dropping amazing. Jen & Paul have created a wonderful peaceful home away from home, the attention to detail is perfection. Great hosts & super gorgeous dog 🥰
