Wee gem

We stayed in the middle of winter, what a warm, cosy, light, modern haven! Everything you could need was right at hand. And the garden was very pretty to enjoy the morning coffee in. Hosts were so helpful, good kind Southern people. Five stars.

Spotless, beautiful and on the beach

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.

Lovely Bungalow

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!

A cute little cottage. We enjoyed walks along the beach and a swim (despite the coolish weather). Easy access by car to Dunedin. Good cooking facilities.

Enjoying the beach

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!

A great find

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

Amazing bungalow by the sea

We were caught in the midst of a crazy amount of rain, having to commute twice a day to the ice rink for our son's ice hockey tournament. Although the weather caused quite some worry, having such a lovely and cosy bungalow to return to made a world of difference. The communication from Janne was amazing and also checked in with us when the roads started closing. The bungalow is very clean and neat and well furnished with everything you need. Beautiful spot with a quick and peaceful walk to the beach. Thank you Janne for making our stay less stressful.

Amazing!

We absolutely LOVED our stay in the bungalow. You are a short walk to amazing ocean views with little foot traffic. The bungalow is close to the city and several places to shop and eat. We had everything we needed during our stay. Plenty of kitchen utensils, blankets, towels, etc. We highly recommend staying here!

Tropical Paradise

First of all, the hosts Janne & Ray couldn't have been nicer. They allowed us privacy in their nicely appointed guest bungalow, but were available to answer questions and gave us helpful tips on the area. Their property adjoins the ocean and has a beautifully manicured landscape. Just a short drive to Dunedin; lots to see and do in the area. We enjoyed our stay at their "tropical paradise"!

Wonderful OceanView week

Janne and Ray are the perfect hosts. They made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped with all the little extra that you never think of when you first arrive. The property was very clean and well organized with ample storage for all of our gear. There was a washer and dryer in the bathroom and even laundry detergent was supplied. The shower had great water pressure and the bathroom itself had extra storage. The bed was very comfortable and the space in the living room would be ample for four people to sit comfortably. Our unit was fully equipped and self contained; food preparation a breeze with a fridge and stove in the kitchen plus a barbecue outside. There were two very private outside sitting and eating areas. Janne and Ray are enthusiastic gardeners so the outside areas were like a little paradise. Not far from the cottage, via the private path access, is a beautiful and uncrowded beach on which one can walk for miles and enjoy the Pacific air. We highly recommend this property to anyone who enjoys a quiet retreat and beachside ambience... and well as wonderful hosts; we would like to visit again! Thank you, Bob and Isabel

About the host

Hosted by Janne and Ray

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.
