About this property

Stylish Coastal Retreat -near Dunedin city.

Architectural Sanctuary: A curated coastal retreat, forget the standard beach house. This is a space for the design-conscious traveller—a bespoke, architecturally designed cedar retreat that blends coastal style with the raw, natural beauty of Aramoana. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic sanctuary or a small group looking for a refined getaway, every inch of this home has been crafted with intention.

The Space
This phome is a celebration of natural textures. From the tactile cedar exterior to the warm timber interiors and curated local artwork, the atmosphere is one of "quiet luxury." It is a place designed to slow you down.

The Living Area: An open-plan sanctuary where large french doors frame the native landscaping, making the outdoors feel like a living gallery.

The Chef’s Kitchen: The heart of the home. Featuring a premium Belling oven and gas stove, it’s fully equipped with modern appliances for those who find joy in coastal cooking.

The Grounds: Step outside into a private world of native plants and birdsong. Enjoy the boardwalk & decking to take in the native garden landscaping, designed to harmonize with the Otago coastline, offering a sense of complete seclusion.

This home offers a thoughtful layout across three distinct sleeping spaces. The master suite is a private retreat located on the first floor, complete with an ensuite bathroom. On the ground level, you'll find a cozy second bedroom featuring a single bed—perfect for a solo traveller. For those seeking extra serenity, the third bedroom is a detached garden studio. This beautiful space features a Queen bed and a large picture window that perfectly frames the lush native garden outside.

Key Details:

A very special home in which to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches nearby. Vicki was very helpful and lives locally. We had everything we needed as Vicki has made it very cosy. The decking and garden planted with native plants are a delight to enjoy. This was the best place we have stayed in during our 4 weeks travel round the South Island and were reluctant to leave.
