About this property

Art Deco Gem

Guests will love this well loved wooden floored art deco gem. She is a little worn from the many years standing in the direct firing line of the Foveaux Strait, but is warm and comfortable inside.
She has a compact and cozy living/dining area with open fire (and plenty of firewood). The beach is a stones throw from the property, right across the road and a local store, playground and a restaurant a short stroll away.

The beach views from this house were amazing. We used the house as a base whilst we did day trips in the area. We found it had everything we needed and was the ideal home away from home whilst we were on holidays in New Zealand.

Lovely house - it's not the height of luxury, but what's the point of spending double the amount when all you need is a place to stay with a stunning view.
