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.

Great place with a retreat/vacation vibe. Great location right near the beach and not far from all the things. Great hosts with quick and clear communication. If we ever come back, would def consider staying again!
Appropriately sharing the ambience and warmth of my late mothers name Rānui, our family thoroughly enjoyed thus home. Great amenities and close proximity to everything when needed. The 2min walk to the beach and playground a bonus! Highly recommended.
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.
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.

Great stay, comfortable and everything was perfect. Lots of room, clean and easy to stay
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!
The accommodation was lovely and truly comfy. Thoroughly enjoyed the walks along the nearby beach every day too. Communication with Lauren was easy and responses prompt. Would rent it again in a heartbeat!
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.
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.
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.
Great location a bit out from the city. Spacious home suitable for a larger family group. Close to a lovely beach. Nice and peaceful. Great stay thank you.
Thanks Lauren and Jimmy! A great place to stay with 3 small girls as the house has many toys that the kids loved. Great property for a larger family/group.
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!
