About this property

The Pink Pipi Karitane

Historic 110 year old house right on the estuary. Formerly the home of the fishing station manager, servicing Sea Cliff asylum with seafood.
Right on the river's edge at Karitane. You couldn't get any closer to the water.
The estuary provides a safe tidal swimming area for you and your family. Bring your fishing rods and come and play. We have kayaks for you to use. At low tide, enjoy hunting for crabs with the kids or dig for cockles for your dinner. You might see Harold, the resident sea lion in Karitane Harbor.
Put your feet up with a book and a cold drink on the deck while your BBQ lunch is cooking.
Fancy a short walk to Karitane Beach? Enjoy swimming or surfing at the beach. Ride your push bike along Karitane beach at low tide to the rock pools at the southern end. Walk to the blow holes at the northern end of the beach.
The local shop is only a brief walk and stocks all of your essentials.
Karitane is only 35km north from Dunedin.
Special conditions:
Outside dogs allowed with prior approval.
New kitchen, new bathroom.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$80.00 per stay up to 6 people, 7- 10 people cleaning $120); Linen and bathroom towels included
