About this property

Loboski Ocean Retreat

This charming location is ideal for those looking for the balance between peace and moderate activities. Stunning views from every angle, plenty of beach, two minutes away, for you to enjoy long walks, have a surf or go fishing, or just look at it and enjoy. Our cottage retreat is ideal for a couple but it can also fit a third person. We have a sofa bed that fits an extra person and provide all linen. Although we welcome children, this property is not specifically children ready.

Perfect little bach for getting away and relaxing. If you're after a place that offers amazing views, easy access to the beach and a homey feel inside then this is where you want to come. I would easily come back and stay for more than a few nights because of all this and also the places you could go on an adventure to given the location. This is a great place!

Beach side paradise
Lovely little cabin. In great location. Michelle was very welcoming and helped us set up the sofa bed. We loved our early morning beach walk watching the sunrise. Sad we only stayed for one night. Highly recommended.👌👍

Right by the sea in a sheltered and quiet location and only 20 minutes from Dunedin, the location is absolutely perfect for a seaside getaway or quiet city break! The property is simple, beautiful, warm and with everything you could need plus all those extra touches that make it feel like a home away from home. I can't recommend it enough!

About the host

Hosted by Loboski

Host profile image
We are a family that has lived and travelled in many different places and love being able to share the experience and beauty of all that this amazing little corner of the world has to offer.

Why they chose this property

You are only 25 minutes from the main town and 15 minutes from the airport but if you want to imagine you are far, far away then this place can also offer the peace and tranquility that comes with that. Animals and greenery, ocean views and the actual sand between your toes/ water lapping at your feet within easy reach, just a few steps away - you really can have it all!

What makes this property unique

A beautiful garden for enjoying a moment of relaxation. Steps away from the beach and the ocean. You hear the sound of the lapping waves drifting you off to sleep. 15 minutes from the airport, fully equipped kitchenette, sofa bed, separate toilet/bathroom and comfortable main bedroom with queen bed and ocean and mountain views. Own parking and separate entrance from the private roundabout. You can explore all that Dunedin has to offer or just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet..
