About the host

Hosted by Craig

Host profile image
Hi, I'm a born and bred self employed tradesman with two young children in the awesome town of Kaikoura, I was fortunate enough to purchase this property as a project and see it through completion, my own home is just 200m away from the cottage but not visible for your privacy, I enjoy fishing, camping, racket sports and most outdoor activities, love the 10 acres I have here to play with and enjoy the benefits it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is a place of peace and quiet, with the exception of the native bird life, the views are excellent, A place you can sit and let time slip by.

What makes this property unique

Originally designed and built by leading sculpture Sam Genet, the place was intended as his stone carving studio and hobbit house/tearooms, so mind your head on the low doorways, unfortunately his commitments with " Weta Workshops" and constantly being away on different sets meant he was unable to complete the place, you can see the talent and relationship between the cottage and the "Lord of the rings trilogy" and "The Hobbit" movies that he was working on when he designed and started building the place.
