This is a very cozy place to stay. The bungalow was very well furnished so it was easy to feel at home. It's a 5 minute stroll to a beautiful sandy beach. I would definitely come back again!
We had a wonderful stay in the bungalow, which was ideally located close to the beach and had great amenities (e.g., plastic wine glasses for enjoying drinks by the beach—perfect!).
The street was a bit noisy, but everything else was fantastic!
Even better than the website. Everything was spotless and comfortable. Easy drive into town for groceries and so much to do in the Dunedin area.Prebook penguins as they sell out fast. At least a month in advance.Only negative for me (as a Canadian) is the beds were European firm. If you know, you know.Would highly recommend this place.
We loved this place. Homely feel, private courtyard to catch the morning sun with lovely garden and flowers. So many little extras such as umbrellas, a torch, night light in the bathroom, books and games - thoughtful extras I haven’t seen in hotel/motel rooms
Beautiful cottage, quiet and fully equipped. A short walk just past the main house places you on the beach. Our hosts were helpful and respectful of our privacy, which was appreciated.
Very cosy and relaxing stay. The bungalow has everything you need and is very clean and tidy. Very close to the beach and a great base for enjoying the local area or for trips into the city centre. We will be back:) Thanks Janne & Ray.
Thanks very much for another lovely stay, we will certainly be back! Very comfortable, the cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Beautiful location with the beach so close by and easy drive into Dunedin.
We stayed 4 nights but could have been comfortable for longer, it really had everything we needed to be a home from home.
Loved being so close to the sea with beach access direct via the owners garden.
Amazing how accessible it is to the beach and such a beautiful little walk through the dunes. Spectacular views and beach. Very private and great oasis for us.
The cottage is right next to the beach. Lovely clean and warm cottage. It has everything you need. The beach is lovely too.

About the host
Hosted by Ray Anderson
We moved to Ocean View in 2018. Our property is perfect for us, being by the sea and a short drive into Dunedin which offers so much in the way of art and culture. Janne grew up in Dunedin before leaving to teach in Canterbury, North Otago, Central Otago and much closer to home - Brighton- now known as Big Rock. Ray grew up in Melbourne and has spent much of his life as a stonemason in Queenstown.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property for the specific reason that it has a house as well as a self contained bungalow providing us with the choice to use the bach for additional accommodation for family or for guests.
What makes this property unique
The bungalow provides us with the opportunity to meet travellers and others who are here to visit for events, holidays and concerts. The property has beach access which we particularly love.
