About the host
Hosted by Gail Lineton
We are a family of 4, that have enjoyed Kaikoura all our lives with parents also now retired in Kaikoura.
We purchased this lovely cottage in Feb 2018 and are adding extras every time we are using the cottage ourselves. So it's only going to get better and better.
The location is wonderful and the views are just outstanding. We hope you all enjoy this special place Kaikoura is.

Why they chose this property
The views, home comforts, great covered deck for relaxing and just soaking it all up.
The bay is also brilliant for kayaking. I have even kayaked amongst a pod of dolphins right in front of the cottage.
