a Quiet spot with a beautiful view of the hills and harbour. Good amenities and comfortable bed in the bedroom.Great for couples, but would not recommend for 3 adults as the 2nd sleeping space is a pull-out couch in the TV room - which is open to the passage way to the main bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Louise

Host profile image
Some of the artworks in the house were made or painted by me. You will find my work in the Otago Art Society gallery at the Dunedin Railway station and at The Stuart Street Potters Shop. Bruce is a musician and a stonemason. He build the impressive stone wall at the front of the house.

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet and private neighborhood. From the house you will not view any other houses. The Orokonui Ecosanctuary is close by. You will be surrounded by birdlife.
Port Chalmers is 1km away and has a well stocked supermarket where you can buy wine, beer and food supplies. There are unique coffee bars, historic hotels and art galleries in the Port Chalmers village.

What makes this property unique

My partner and I build this home for ourselves. We are an artistic couple that love luxury and beautiful surroundings. Life took us on another journey so instead of giving up our beautiful home we decided to share it. We hope that you enjoy the special features and peacefulness to this space,
