Solar Powered - Superb mountain views

Kanuka Hill is in a very secluded country setting, yet only a 10 minute drive from Kaikoura. Located on an elevated north facing slope, it has panoramic views of the mountains. The night sky is amazing and unspoiled by any street lighting from the township. The building is not connected to the power grid and generates all it's own electricity via solar panels. The space Kanuka Hill is the perfect quiet and relaxing place to disconnect from technology and enjoy a relaxing break to reconnect with your whanau and friends. Relax and enjoy an evening soak in the outdoor bath taking in the sunset or night sky. Solar panels with battery storage supply your electricity needs, the building is not connected to the electricity grid, but does have a backup generator if you run short of power. A log-burner provides the heating for your stay during cool weather with plenty of dry firewood. Cooking is via a modern gas hob, note there is no oven. However, a Ziggler and Brown hooded barbeque takes care of roasting, baking, even bread and muffins come out well! BBQ cookbook provided. There is plenty of level onsite parking for cars, boats and trailers. The owners' interest in re-using and upcycling natural materials has created a stylish and unique property. For example the building was designed to incorporate a rescued curved Rimu staircase from Christchurch. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms plus a small loft room with skylight. Master bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite. The 'tree room' has a double bed, the third bedroom a double bed. The loft room has a single bed; a favourite for kids and those who snore!
