Stay with family and friends

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. The views and short stroll to the beaches were perfect. Ellie was so helpful on check in and gathering up the items we failed to pack 😯 and returned them to us. Wish we could be back there now:)

Unique slice of paradise

We loved the amazing view, peacefulness, and native birds surrounding the house. So great to have two decks for windy days and the track to beach was so handy close to the Bach. Hope to return

Stunning location

Such a stunning location with views of Kaiteriteri and little Kaiteriteri beaches which are a short walk away. House is well equipped and comfortable although one bathroom for a family of 5 was busy. But definitely worth it for the location

Impressive location

We had an amazing 4 nights in this Kiwiana Bach. Million-dollar views, and only a 3 minute walk to either Kaiteriteri beach or little Kaiteriteri. 5 minute walk to restaurants, cafe, etc. Ellie was lovely to deal with, and great communication. thanks again for sharing your house in such a wonderful location, you will be sure to see us again.

Fantastic holiday - thank you Ellie!

This is the first time we have ever been greeted on arrival by the owner and meeting Ellie was an absolute delight. I could have quite happily spent a few hours chatting. We have holidayed in the area for the last 17 years and Ellie's home has the most stunning view and is in a perfect location. Waking up to the view outside the kitchen window every morning was a delight. The birdsong is also awesome. Ellie has considered and catered to the needs of her visitors very well and there is everything you need for an enjoyable in this home. We had a wonderful holiday aided in no small way by Ellie and her home.

Beautiful views, character building

The character of the building is interesting, the setting is amazing, great privacy while still being close, access to the beaches is well formed steep track so great if you are able. Access to the house requires use of steps and there are some accessibility challenges. There is everything you could want to enjoy your stay.

Kaiteriteri gem

Perched on a hill above Kaiteriteri beach with gorgeous views, this home is a wonderful, peaceful place to stay while visiting Abel Tasman Natl Park. Ellie couldn't have been more kind and helpful, and we appreciated the thoughtful gifts she left to welcome us. Her home reflects the love with which it was built and decorated. We took great hikes right from the house, spent a delightful rainy day just relaxing at home and enjoying the views, and loved our day exploring Abel Tasman Park by water taxi and on foot. We spent three nights at "Heart of Kaiteriteri" and would have loved to stay longer. Ellie and her home will hold a special place in our memories of New Zealand.

A perch in paradise

Though the photos in the listing are impressive, they can't possibly represent how spectacular, private and convenient this gem of a cabin is. From the time we arrived, greeted by Ellie we loved this place and can't wait to return. It is quaint and cozy and with Ellie's encouragement and advice about the neighbourhood we immediately felt at home.

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.
