Beautiful in every way!

Everything about The Factory is just gorgeous - from the stunning setting sandwiched between moody mountains and the everchanging surf beach - lie in bed or on the comfy loungers and listen to waves, tui & bellbirds - to the perfect decor along with a character building with an interesting history... Add in wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay, and all I can say is what a winner. So lucky that we can get in the car and drive here in a couple of hours! Thanks so much team Factory - pleasure to meet you. We'll be back!

Stunning. An absolute’Must Go’

We have just spent 2 wonderful days at The Factory. We were looking for 2 days to do nothing and we got that. Welcomed by a nice Pinot and Cheeseboard - Sean and Skip were just wonderful hosts. We spent our time in front of a roaring fire - waking up in the morning to the hot tub overlooking the Kaikoura Ranges. The cottage is just beautiful a with everything you would expect from a luxury property. Thank you guys for allowing us the opportunity to share your spectacular spot. We loved it!

Amazing hosts

Sean and Skip were amazing hosts and their hospitality was second to none. Very helpful, gave us recommendations and offered to book us into a restaurant as well as drop us off. Super lovely people, would definitely recommend The Factory, which is just beautiful, and we’ll certainly be back. Thank you!

Really different and really lovely

This lovely conversion from an old dairy ‘factory’ to a home with accommodation has all the facilities. Hot tub, outside seating, fully fitted kitchen, comfortable lounge area with TV and DVDs, very easy stroll to the beach - and a helipad in the grounds. However, their secret weapons are Sean and his wife ‘Skip’ who run the place and live on site. Go for the Heli trip if you can, you won’t regret it!

Hi Tony, thank you for your review. Skip still has a smile on her face from the chopper ride. Graham and Cilla took your advice and really enjoyed it. We hope to see you both again in the future, Many thanks Sean and Skip

Amazing location, lovely property, incredible owners & hosts!

From the moment we made contact with Sean many months before our stay his communication and assitance not only with the accommodation, but also with restaurant and other local bookings was above and beyond what you would expect! Similarly when we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Sean and his wife Skip and not only shown around the property, but also presented with a welcome platter and various refreshments, including a bottle of bubbly, a few beers and milk in the fridge! The standard of accommodation was simply charming and first class, in fact a real luxury home away from home and in the perfect location to not only walk onto an amazing beach where we saw dolphins swimming (the beach is not suitable to swim due to currents), but also very easy to find, convenient and just a short drive into Kaikoura. Sean, Skip and thier property were amazing and we feel privileged to have found them on Trip Advisor and we would not only highly recommend them and their property, but hopefully we may return ourselves for a future visit!…
