About Us
Lynne and John were both born and bred in New Zealand. Lynne was brought up on a sheep & cattle farm in Southland and John was brought up in Canterbury where he served his time as a cabinet maker and then went on to long haul truck driving.
We both owned and operated a Bed & Breakfast in Marlborough for several years before buying Austin Heights and moving to Kaikoura. We both enjoy meeting and communicating with our Guests who come from all around the World to see our beautiful part of our country.
John was a long haul truck driver for almost 30 years and Lynne had her own small beauty business as well as worked part time in the Montana vineyard in Marlborough in the winter months. Before operating their Bed and Breakfast.
We started going to Kaikoura for the occasional weekend for a break and just loved the place for its spectacular scenery, marine & seabird life, stunning walks and all the other wonderful outdoor activities and attractions available.
So the next best thing was to sell up and move to Kaikoura. Twelve months later we had bought Austin Heights and upgraded it to a Quality Bed & Breakfast it is today. Building two new self-contained Units on top for the beautiful scenery and completely renovating the whole house over the last 9 years.
We welcome you to enjoy our beautiful & peaceful surroundings. In season Austin Heights glows with colour. If you have time out from your Whale watching, Dolphin & Seal swimming, beautiful Peninsula Coastal walks, wine tasting or many of the other wonderful Kaikoura activities, you may like to take a stroll around our prize-winning gardens or relax in our lovely private back-yard and enjoy a BBQ which is available for Guests to use..
Our Guests always compliment us on our warm welcome, friendly hospitality, lovely appointed rooms, comfortable beds and our homely atmosphere.
We look forward to welcoming you to Austin Heights.
