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.

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

About the host

Hosted by Janne and Ray

Host profile image
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.
