Stunning coastal views in a movie like setting

A stylish kiwi retreat in a movie like setting.

Relax surrounded by endless sea, sky and green pastures with the odd passing train, ship, boat, bird or sheep and the world stretched out in front of you. This is a place to put your feet up, tune into nature and experience the best of what New Zealand has to offer.

Drift in the spa at night and feel part of the milky way. Look out from the spa during the day and feel part of the ocean. From the deck and rooms you will see the curve of the planet, with Whales migrating in winter and the heavenly Aurora appearing occasionally, my place is a photographers dream location.

In summary, I'd like to share what I feel is an uplifting, unique and special place and I'm confident that you will leave feeling the same.

Please note that I often stay and manage the property from the self contained unit seen above the house in the third picture. I keep away from the main house and most guests will never see me as the unit faces away from the sea but I am available to help on request if you text me first.

If you are looking for a truly kiwi experience, this is it.

Special conditions:
Please keep off the surrounding paddocks, particularly during lambing.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a hot tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We had a beautiful few days away at this stunning secluded spot. We planned to head into Dunedin during the day but once we arrived we didn’t want to leave the view. The ocean views from the spa are unbeatable, and the only neighbours we had were the birds and sheep. Thank you for such a wonderful stay - 5/5!

Absolutely loved our stay! The location is absolutely stunning — peaceful, scenic, and just an easy, stress-free drive to Dunedin. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed, and we honestly could’ve spent the whole day just soaking in the views and the atmosphere. The accommodation itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’ve already recommended it to friends and family, and we’ll definitely be back ourselves. A perfect escape if you're looking to unwind and enjoy a beautiful slice of New Zealand!"
