Funky beach house made up of a 1900's Railway Carriage. A beach house made up of an early 1900's Railway Carriage with Modern bathroom and living amenities added on, to create a funky character filled atmosphere thats relaxed and inviting. A mere 5 min stroll to the white sand of Long Beach where you can rock climb, boogie board, swim, fish,or just walk along the quiet open beach and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. At home theres a big screen TV, fireplace, BBQ and plenty of space to enjoy a family get together or use the kitchen to cook up a storm. 25 mins out of Dunedin, so not far from supermarkets etc but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle of a city. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Plenty of firewood available and other heating options and plenty of towels. Could do with a few more cooking utensils but heaps of coffee and tea options as well as hot choc and an otherwise well stocked kitchen. Would definitely recommend a stay. ##### Nancy R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keryn M. 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Such a great wee get away spot not too far from Dunedin city. 2min walk to the beach and it is beautiful even on a miserable day. Has everything you could need for a week away with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Fire heats the whole house but there are also lots of other heating options. Friendly hosts and the property was clean and tidy and well looked after. Looking forward to our next trip already! ##### Keryn M. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David S. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ticked all the boxes.. Great place to stay fire was great beds are great nice an quiet neighborhood. Door handle alarm keeped going off throughout the night, i told the owners hopefully thats fixed for the next person. ##### David S. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeanenne M. 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quirky Great potential, just needs a few tweaks to make it more comfortable! This seems to be a newish listing so just need to get familiar with what guests want/need.Ran out of firewood and there was a lack of blankets but the owner was extremely obliging and rectified! ##### Jeanenne M.
