About the host
Hosted by Linda Kuipers von Lande
We live in Kaiapoi just north ofChristchurch. We love Kaikoura and all it has to offer. It is our haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We have 3 sons and a few pets.
Why they chose this property
Kaikoura is NZs best small town; where the Alps meet the Ocean - there is so much to see and do. Our wee cottage is the perfect base for this but equally a great place to sit and enjoy the birdsong.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage was built in 1915 and maintains the look and feel of an original cottage with a modern kitchen and a comfortable bathroom.
