Clean, well equipped, comfortable beds. The only thing to know is that beach access is quite steep so difficult for less mobile people. The breakfast is a nice touch.

My group of four adults loved this vacation home. What stood out was the back deck for dining and BBQ grillling outside. All the furniture and the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was generously equipped.

This place was quaint, calm, and perfectly suited to what we were looking for. It got cooler one evening and we simply cozied up around the gas fireplace. The home had everything listed, including the barbecue, that we used, and ate outdoors on the patio. The host, Janet, communicated extremely well, and answered any inquiries we had. An excellent experience all around. Proximity to Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula made it perfect.

A lovely reatreat by the beach - everything you need and with a view!

We really enjoyed our stay and it felt like a home away from home - clean, warm, spacious & comfortable and had everything we needed. It is light & bright with a sunny north facing decking & lovely views of the sea from the living room. Lots of close & easy access down to the beach - an absolute gem!!
