Amazing!

We absolutely LOVED our stay in the bungalow. You are a short walk to amazing ocean views with little foot traffic. The bungalow is close to the city and several places to shop and eat. We had everything we needed during our stay. Plenty of kitchen utensils, blankets, towels, etc. We highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful place

Beautiful cottage, quiet and fully equipped. A short walk just past the main house places you on the beach. Our hosts were helpful and respectful of our privacy, which was appreciated.

Tropical Paradise

First of all, the hosts Janne & Ray couldn't have been nicer. They allowed us privacy in their nicely appointed guest bungalow, but were available to answer questions and gave us helpful tips on the area. Their property adjoins the ocean and has a beautifully manicured landscape. Just a short drive to Dunedin; lots to see and do in the area. We enjoyed our stay at their "tropical paradise"!

About the host

Hosted by Janne and Ray

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.
