Stunning coastal views in a movie like setting

A stylish kiwi bach in a movie like setting.

Relax surrounded by endless sea, sky and green pastures with the odd passing train, ship, boat, bird or sheep and the world stretched out in front of you. This is a place to put your feet up, tune into nature and experience the best of what New Zealand has to offer.

Drift in the spa at night and feel part of the milky way. Look out from the spa during the day and feel part of the ocean. If fact, you will actually see the curve of the planet. In summary, we want to share what we feel is an unplifting, unique and special place and hope that you will feel the same.

Please note that I stay and manage the property from the self contained unit seen above the house in the third picture. I keep away from the main house and most guests will never see me as the unit faces away from the sea but I am available to help on request if you text me first.

If you are looking for a truly kiwi experience, this is it.

Special conditions:
Please keep off the surrounding paddocks, particularly during lambing.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Spectacular
The pictures in the listing don't do this home justice. The home itself is comfortable with no detail overlooked. The experience of being there is immersive because of the stunning views, sounds of sheep in adjacent pastures and star filled sky. It is one of the best places we have ever stayed anywhere in the world. We feel privileged to have been able stay there. ablthere.abtabtoplaces

Otago Coast paradise!
Glenn's place is paradise! The view, the house, the astronomy lesson in a spa overlooking the ocean, and on our last night we had a Southern Lights solar spectacular that we don't think we will ever see again. 360 degrees solar light show. Glenn is so helpful and we really had everything we need! This stay was beyond words really.

A Slice of Paradise
After a long year, we were getting away - and how fortunate to discover this idyll! The location is fantastic and the ever-changing view, stunning. The accommodation is very comfortable and you want for nothing. To be honest, you don't want to leave. Scott is an excellent host, and we are grateful that he has chosen to share this slice of paradise. We will most definitely return - next time for longer! This beautiful retreat is simply wonderful.
