Nature on your door step

Whether you’re here for a night or a week, we hope you leave feeling rejuvenated.
Nestled into a hill with farmland at the back & surrounded by mature trees, you’re really feel at one with nature. Please note that the cottage is close to our house. We have free range chickens, a cat, a dog and a 3 year old. You will see the animals and hear us in the yard but we are respectful and want to share our space.
Waitati lagoon track & Drs Point beach a short trip away. Easy stroll to Blueskin Bay Nursery Cafe for an amazing brunch/lunch morning/arvo snack. Harvey St Merchant is a must stop for Pure NZ ice cream & Blueskin Bay Gallery for a glass of something & a pizza or check out Arc Brewery.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of Doctors Point. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchenette and a stovetop in the cottage.

Short overnighter

Overnight stay only, not easy to find unless you know the area. Very little contact with hosts. Prefer to have a microwave included and brighter lighting. Warm and clean and modern.

Quaint

It was a private place with an amazing setting. A nice view off the front. Well treed so plenty of birds. A pair of Rosellas came to visit at 20 metres in the morning. Very clean and spacious. Close to Doctors point, the ecological conservation park and Akamoana.

Relax in Waitati

A great get away, close to Dunedin, but in a world of its own. Nearby estuary and Drs Point are beautiful and fascinating window on wildlife. Property is modern, clean & comfortable. Enjoyed my stay!
