Each unit includes air conditioning, a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen with an induction cooktop and Nespresso machine, and a smart TV with streaming services. Some units feature a fireplace and a balcony or terrace.

Kitchen

Each apartment has a kitchen with an induction cooktop, Nespresso machine, air fryer, toaster, kettle, and crock pot. There is a dining area and outdoor furniture. BBQ facilities are available on-site. No restaurant is present, but the local shop stocks supplies for meals.

Leisure

Guests have direct access to a private beach area. Bike tours and pub crawls are nearby. The apartment includes board games and a smart TV. Stargazing from the deck is popular due to the quiet location.

Location

Kakianau Retreat is on the Otago Peninsula, a short drive from the Royal Albatross Centre and the Penguin Tour. Dunedin Airport is 48 km away. The property is a scenic coastal drive from Dunedin city center.

Amenities

Free on-site private parking is provided. The property offers free WiFi, a private beach area, and a terrace. Each unit has a private bathroom and keyless entry. Note: the apartments are in a two-story building, and noise from upstairs can travel.

“This waterfront property delivers exceptional value, providing modern, spacious apartments with truly stunning views across the water. The comfort is evident in the well-appointed rooms, creating a peaceful retreat that's surprisingly quiet for its accessible peninsula location. It feels like a place where the quality genuinely outstrips the price.”
