Dylans Country Cottages

Dylans Country Cottages is a rustic bed and breakfast accommodation located in a rural setting beneath the Seaward Kaikoura mountain range in Kaikoura, New Zealand.

The property consists of two unique cottages, Mahoe and Kowhai, which can accommodate up to nine guests. Each cottage has an upstairs mezzanine bedroom with beds made from Macrocarpa grown on the property. The French doors in the lounge open onto the garden, which gives New Zealand’s famed indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchenette area is small and basic but more than adequate to make breakfast and simple meals. The units provide views of the garden and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge, and a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. Some units include a balcony and/or a patio with mountain views. Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast.

The cottages are located approximately 7 km from the Kaikoura township, 2.5 km from SH1 on the edge of the dairy flats. The property is surrounded by the peace and quiet of the countryside, making it an ideal retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The property is only a five-minute drive from central Kaikoura, 2.5 hours drive from Christchurch, and 2 hours drive from the Picton ferries.

Dylans Country Cottages offers a sun terrace and a garden with a barbecue. Guests can go hiking and skiing nearby. The nearest airport is Kaikoura Airport, 7.5 miles from the accommodation. The property provides free WiFi and free private parking. The host is wonderful,
