About this property

Stylish Coastal Retreat -near Dunedin city.

Architectural Sanctuary: A curated coastal retreat, forget the standard beach house. This is a space for the design-conscious traveller—a bespoke, architecturally designed cedar retreat that blends coastal style with the raw, natural beauty of Aramoana. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic sanctuary or a small group looking for a refined getaway, every inch of this home has been crafted with intention.

The Space
Our home is a celebration of natural textures. From the tactile cedar exterior to the warm timber interiors and curated local artwork, the atmosphere is one of "quiet luxury." It is a place designed to slow you down.

The Living Area: An open-plan sanctuary where large french doors frame the native landscaping, making the outdoors feel like a living gallery.

The Chef’s Kitchen: The heart of the home. Featuring a premium Belling oven and gas stove, it’s fully equipped with modern appliances for those who find joy in coastal cooking.

The Grounds: Step outside into a private world of native plants and birdsong. Enjoy the boardwalk & decking to take in the native garden landscaping, designed to harmonize with the Otago coastline, offering a sense of complete seclusion.

This home offers a thoughtful layout across three distinct sleeping spaces. The master suite is a private retreat located on the first floor, complete with an ensuite bathroom. On the ground level, you'll find a cozy second bedroom featuring a single bed—perfect for a solo traveller. For those seeking extra serenity, the third bedroom is a detached garden studio. This beautiful space features a Queen bed and a large picture window that perfectly frames the lush native garden outside.

Key Details:

Total Bathrooms: 2 (Ensuite + Full Ground Floor Bathroom).

Master Suite: Upstairs/First Floor.

Studio: Detached from main house with native garden views.
