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;

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.

Fabulous
We selected the house as our final base for exploring the South Island of New Zealand and it exceeded all our expectations. To wake up in the morning to those fantastic views and after a long day exploring the area. To sit and have a glass of wine and look out at the views was wonderful. Glenn greeted us warmly and was very very helpful giving us tips on where to go.

Wow! The only downside is that you will want to spend all your time sitting on the deck or in the hot tub staring out with a smile on your face. Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Glenn was a great unobtrusive host. We were lucky with the weather and for sure will be back

We had a fantastic two nights here. Would have been happy not to leave and just look at the view all day but glad we explored around Karitane - good walks, beaches, wildlife. Glenn was a great host - very informative, helpful and friendly. The house is perfect; everything you need and can’t beat the spa with the outstanding views! Cosy and warm inside with the fire. Highly recommend.
