THE BOAT HOUSE ON DIXON

The Boat House is situated in the tourist hot spot, Ōakura, directly across the road from beach access to the stunning Ōakura beach. Spend your days swimming, surfing or exploring the beautiful coastline. A five minute stroll away from the restaurants, cafes, grocery store, bars and village shops.

The owners of this newly renovated bach at the rear of their own property, wanted to create something truly special for guests to relax, unwind and have fun at their beachy slice of paradise. From the moment you enter you are greeted with a natural wood interior complimented with white lourve shutters giving this gorgeous bach a very natural, earthy beachy vibe.

The surprisingly spacious living area has been cleverly setup with two stylish couches which covert to two comfortable queen sofa beds to easily accommodate two additional guests in the living area. The master bedroom allows parents to retreat in total comfort and leave the children to their holiday chitter chatter. Enjoy the open plan fully equipped new kitchen complete with butlers sink. Relax outdoors in the evening with fish n chips and a glass of merlot and watch the sunset over the ocean.

Every now and then you will get a visit from the owners gorgeous little dog giving the children a chance to have a little cuddle. A fantastic place to base yourself while you experience everything the wonderful Ōakura Village has to offer. Added features are air conditioning/heat pump, washing machine, parking pad and unlimited wifi.

A great stay, very large for a one bedroom property. Just a stones throw to the beautiful beach, and a very short walk to local shops & eateries. Would absolutely recommend.

Modern, spotless, well located and friendly open setting
We had a lovely stay in the boat house. The facilities in the house are excellent and cleanliness was five star. The owners and their children were very friendly, and we especially adored their dog. Owners were really helpful with local tips and loan of beach towels and their outside coffee table! The boat house in the back garden of the main house, so it is an open setting and you live alongside the (lovely) young family. We adored the dog and kids so felt very comfortable sharing the space with them and had a lovely stay. Highly recommend for your Oākura visit!

Beautiful bach, easy walk to beach
This was the perfect clean, well stocked bach I was hoping for. Due to surrounding houses etc, it didn't feel the most private retreat ever, but my wife and I loved our stay.

Very nice accommodation in a great location !
What an amazing place. We had a great experience with a fabulous host who thought of everything we might need and more. We were so comfortable and relaxed. Just steps from a gorgeous beach and close enough to hear the surf from the yard. We can’t wait to go back !
