Private Harbourside Haven with Stunning Views

Nestled along the tranquil shores of the Otago Peninsula, this charming waterside retreat offers a private sanctuary surrounded by nature. With breathtaking views over Dunedin Harbour and Pudding Island, the home is designed to embrace its spectacular setting. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing seascape, while a spacious sun-drenched deck provides the perfect vantage point to watch passing ships glide across the water. The beautifully tended cottage garden adds to the home’s serene ambiance, with winding pathways leading through seasonal blooms and native plantings.

Inside, the contemporary interior is warm and inviting, blending comfort with an understated elegance. The main living area is bathed in natural light, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Three well-appointed bedrooms provide a restful retreat, with the main bedroom offering a private balcony and uninterrupted sea views. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, listening to the gentle lapping of waves, or unwinding in the lush garden, the home is a place of quiet reflection and natural beauty.

The surrounding landscape is teeming with native wildlife, from the melodic call of birds in the trees to the occasional sighting of seals and penguins along the shoreline. A scenic walking path leads from the property into the charming village of Portobello, where local cafes, a renowned fish and chips shop, and a welcoming pub offer a taste of the peninsula’s hospitality. For those seeking adventure, the harbor and peninsula provide a playground for kayaking, wildlife tours, and coastal walks through dramatic landscapes.

A short drive along the harbor road brings you to Dunedin’s city center, where a rich cultural and historic experience awaits. Explore the grand architecture of the city's heritage buildings, browse boutique shops and galleries, or visit the famous Otago Museum and Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. The city’s vibrant culinary scene offers everything from cozy cafés to fine dining establishments, while nearby beaches and scenic reserves provide endless opportunities for exploration.

This waterfront haven offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, where the beauty of the Otago Peninsula unfolds in every direction. Whether seeking a peaceful escape or an adventure-filled getaway, this home provides a truly special experience—one where nature, comfort, and breathtaking scenery come together in perfect harmony.
