About this property

Sea & beach views with safe swimming

15 minutes north of Dunedin, Warrington is one of Otago's safest swimming beaches, patrolled over summer and always popular with kayakers or surfers when the weather is rough. A short walk from the house is Blueskin bay where you can explore the many tracks or forage for cockles (southern clams) or oysters if you know where to look.
A walkway below the house leads to rocks where you can try fishing or exploring the rock pools, the kids will be occupied for days!
There are many interesting drives within an hour of Warrington, the Orokonui sanctuary, the back road to Port Chalmers and Dunedin, wildlife tours of Otago Peninsula or just exploring Dunedins many attractions.
North is the coastal route to Karitane for fishing charters, kayak hires and another fantastic beach.
Further up the coast is Moeraki fishing village, the well known "boulders" and a great restaurant.
Within an hour is Qamaru and its historic buildings.
The house has commanding views over Warrington beach and all the way to Taiora heads where you can watch ships coming and going.
Our "crib" is around 20 years old, it has always been used as a holiday bach and is pet friendly, it is simply furnished, warm and inviting.
Special conditions:
Maximum occupancy is eight⁷ persons. Overnight visitors beyond this number are not permitted in or on the property.
Pets may be permitted with consultation and payment of a special cleaning fee.
Credit card details and debit consent may be required to cover any damage or exceptional cleaning costs.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to give the house a basic clean and do the dishes before you leave. Our cleaner will take care of the linen change, deep cleaning and vacumming.

Wonderful birthday gift weekend getaway!

I wanted a weekend away with the girl on a beach near Dunedin so we could race back if an unexpected situation arises. Loved the stay

Great location, nice to be out of town

Great place right next to the beach. Nice to be out of the busy town. House was freezing when we got there so would’ve been nice if the heat pump had been turned on beforehand but it warmed up and stayed warm over the 4 days. Otherwise great house and everything in it.

It was a great place for us to catch up with family and friends with an exceptional view of the ocean and only minutes from Dunedin and the surrounding bays. We popped over to Carey’s Historical Hotel for an amazing lunch and Sunday session at the Arc Brewery listening to a band

Magical Spot

Spacious, comfortable, and well maintained house with stunning views. Our communication with the owner was excellent. He gave clear instructions and the whole process was easy Comfy bed, sound of the waves, great pressure in the shower, and warm inside despite the fact it was rather chilly outside fantastic!Added bonus was seeing the aurora from the deck!

Relaxed, comfortable and great view's

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely bach. Everything was straight forward and the place had a nice homely feel to it. Only things that would make it even more amazing is swapping out the plastic jug to a glass or stainless steel and the hot water cylinder wasnt really big enough for 4 adults to all have showers in morning, but these were minor details and we would definitely stay again cause it was such a nice place! The views and beach access alone...thanks Mark

Blissful seaside batch

From the moment we arrived at Mark’s place we felt extremely relaxed and the views of the beach from the balcony are just stunning. We enjoyed early morning walks and sitting in bed with a coffee looking at the view. Our dog absolutely loved it too and was exhausted after all the walks. This place is a gem!

A hidden gem. The views of and access to the beach were great, and the place was welcoming and very relaxing. I was just sorry that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you for providing a place we could unpack and just relax.
