About the host
Hosted by EllieKaiteri
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.
