About this property

Welcome to our holiday house, your home away from home.

  • Welcome our hidden treasure, beach holiday house. Unwind and have a relaxing stay. You'll find everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, your 'home away from home'. Walking through the doors you'll immediately feel at ease with the inviting ambiance, soft tones, cosy furniture decor. All of the beds have comfortable luxurious linen and electric blankets for those cooler winter nights.

    This two-storied house features an open plan kitchen, lounge, dining area. The private fully-fenced section has outside decking over two levels. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one separate toilet, and fully contained laundry to cater to your family's needs.

    This house does not contain television but has 'fiber broadband' for those who wish to stay connected to the outside world with wifi while on their stay.

    There is off-street parking on either side of the house, with a single lockable garage.

    Neighbourhood:
    Within 50m walk you'll find a children's playground and picnic area before reaching the stunning Ocean View Beach. Just 15 minutes drive from Dunedin airport and 20 minutes Dunedin city centre. This property is well suited for anyone who is looking for a getaway on the outskirts of Dunedin.

    Around the corner from our house, you will find a Fish and Chip shop. Within walking distance, just over the hill, you'll find the quaint township of Brighton. You can enjoy a coffee or breakfast from the cafe or an ice-cream from the convenience store. Brighton hosts a surf club where you can enjoy swimming in the beach in a safely patrolled area. In nearby Green Island (8 min drive), you'll find a Fresh-Choice supermarket, petrol stations, cafes, health services and various other amenities including some great Chinese takeaways.

    At the end of the street is a bus stop, making it handy to get buses into Dunedin City

    Swimming:
    Ocean View is a stunning beach with glorious views and rocks to explore. However, it is noted to not be a safe beach to swim in. There are strong, dangerous rips. For safe swimming, it is advised to head around to 'Big Rock' at Brighton Beach to the patrolled area.

Quaint

Lovely family holiday home with all the comforts of home. Enjoyed the Kiwi Scrabble - now I have to go and buy a board for our own collection. Beautifully warm and comfortable. Beach is stunning for long walks, and amazing sky.

Nice location / large hose

Really enjoyed the location. Was able to take long walks on the beach while still being close to Dunedin for access to its restaurants. House was large enough for multiple adults and had both washer and dryer which was convenient as this was a stop in a longer trip. We really appreciated the electronic keypad entry since we had people coming and going on different schedules. Would definitely stay hear again if I was ever in the area.

Gorgeous homely accommodation in the perfect location for prime beach access. We absolutely adored the place and were blown away by the care that clearly went in to preparing for our stay. The hosts were incredibly lovely and easy to communicate with and we could not have asked for a better experience overall!

Beautiful Gettaway

The accomadation was perfect for my family, plenty of space, perfect location in walking distance to the beach, pellet fire which made it cosy while playing games with the family. The place was well equipped for family and entertainment. The owner was quick to respond to messages when needed. I would certaintly hire the house again, perfect spot.

A Peaceful Getaway

The house is a quaint property on the outskirts of Dunedin. The home is warm and comforting providing ample space to relax. Location is right near the beach, a vast uncrowded space ideal for long walks and the odd Sea Lion sighting. The host was very accommodating with every request. Only one disappointment was that there is no TV available which could be a problem with a family of small children. Overall a lovely stay and would certainly go back again.

2-days Dunedin stay

The house is located near the beach and is a good location to view Galaxy / Southern Lights if weather permits. However, it was cloudy during our stays. The landlord responds quickly to our request. Overall, the stay in this property is satisfactory.

Family break

This property worked out well for our stay. The kids loved being close to the beach. Our only bad experience was that it was hot during our stay which meant we had to sleep with the windows open and unfortunately we were mauled by mosquitoes!
