An atmospheric crib in a beautiful location

We spent two nights at this Oreti Beach property. It was perfect for our requirements, comfortable and cosy. The proximity to the majestic Oreti Beach is a major attraction, and the property is also handy for Invercargill and the airport.

Work Trip Retreat

We stayed 4 nights and thought this Bach was great. It has the basics we needed and was very comfortable. The Night Sky is amazing and the Beach is so close. After 4 hard days at the Field days it was a nice quiet retreat. Young Families would love this place too. Thanks for sharing it.

Pure bliss!

The cottage is quiet, homely, comfortable, quirky, and the kitchen really well equipped. Washing machine is one bonus, and the bathtub another.. but the best is proximity to the widest beach in NZ! We drove down Dunns Road onto the beach to experience the spectacular sunsets. Patchy mobile signal and absence of TV meant our family could connect more with each other than with social media.

Private, quiet, close to beach and Invercargill. Quirky wee crib. Was cold outside on the first night but inside the crib was warm and the fire made it toasty.

This is a cosy Bach with nice fire place and quality bed linen.

This is a cosy Bach with nice fire place and quality bed linen. You can hear the surf and it’s a nice long beach to walk on. There’s a very good cafe/diner 8 minutes back along the main road. We had a great weekend . Thanks Jane

This crib was perfect for us.

This crib was perfect for us. I hope to holiday in Invercargill again, and this is where I want to stay. Close to Oreti beach which is an awesome location. Lovely crib with all necessary facilities and basic provisions like tea, coffee, soap, laundry powder, books. We were all delighted.
