We spent a delightful 3 nights in Kaiteriteri, perfectly positioned on the point between Little Kaitereri and Big Kaitereri. The location is ideal for easy walks to either beach along the scenic track.Ellie, our host, was incredibly attentive and genuinely sweet. She went above and beyond, leaving thoughtful touches like chocolates, wine, and fresh milk in the fridge.The cabin itself was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Our kids enjoyed the games and had a blast playing outside in the sunshine.We highly recommend Ellie and are immensely grateful for sharing her incredible home with us. We’ll definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

About the host

Hosted by EllieKaiteri

Host profile image
This was the home of New Zealand fiction writer Michael Henderson, first New Zealand Master of Fine Arts graduate of the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, whose books can be enjoyed in the house.

Why they chose this property

Five generations of the family have lived in the area and visited Kaiteriteri Beach from earliest days when the road was just a track.

What makes this property unique

The house was built in 1997 on the bare section bought in 1970 and has not changed hands in that time. It gives a comfortable and authentic holiday experience and does not simply transport the visiting guests to another suburban setting.
