Great sea views and easy beach access

Only 15 minutes from the centre of Dunedin this family crib has easy access to a patrolled surf beach and is ideally situated for a great holiday. From the lounge you can watch the surfers and hectors dolphins play in the waves and see the ships going through Tairoa Heads. Enjoy the village atmosphere while taking advantage of all that Otago has to offer. From Warrington take the scenic coastal route to Karitane stopping to explore the Truby King reserve on the way. Venture further north to Moeraki or allow an hour to drive to Oamaru and visit the historic precinct. Go south from Warrington and visit Orokanui Sanctuary, explore the Otago Peninsula and the albatross colony, visit the arts and crafts of Port Chalmers, cycle The Loop or just enjoy Dunedin city. If you don't want to go far head to the Arc Brewery and sample their craft beers and food truck fare and Sunday afternoon music. When you get back to Warrington sit on the porch, relax and watch the evening light on the water while the children wander down to the playground.

Compact wee crib with enormous views- we really enjoyed being able to sit by the windows and look out to sea and sky. Tidy, well equipped kitchen, good heat pump, comfortable beds, nice selection of games (but note, no inside table for games or jigsaws).

This is a favourite place of ours. The location is amazing, and the crib is so comfortable. It has everything we need, and now there's the extra bonus of the new deck. I highly recommend it!!

Location A+
What an exceptional location, best view of the beach in the area, you can see the whole length from the lounge, easy to heat, great deck space and outdoor furniture. We came away with only a minor recommendations for the owners that was only slightly inconvenient for our family, to add a door handle on the front door as once its closed there is only key entry to the snib lock so once you head out to the front door you are locked out and having to go around the back door to gain access, Also (for people with pets and small children) just a heads up; it does not have a secure section and you can walk through to the house behind, this cuased us to constantly keep an eye on our toddler but also felt we couldn't leave our dog outside unattended or if we went out for the day being outside was not an option, our concern was it would wonder to the next house and bother them or run away as their driveway gate was left open whilst we were there, However; having pets available to this house is great and we do not take that for granted so will bring a long rope next time All and all we will certainly staying here again. Thanks Sandy All and all we will definitely stay there

Stunning view and great beach location!
Fantastic location and had everything we needed! Everything was well set up. Communication was fantastic and instructions were clear. the only down side was the place hasn’t had a good thorough cleaning in a while - carpets, furniture etc. It was great to have a washer, the new deck is glorious and overall it is a really beautiful bach and a really special spot. Would definitely come again

Amazing Breakaway.
The Crib was for what we needed for a break away from our normal day to day routine. We had booked for two days. The heart of the house was the open plan living which was excellent. Then the view from the lounge windows was breathtaking. The two chairs got the most use by the windows. We had enjoyed the walks along the beach, ship spotting and watching the Surfers. We had attended the Pink concert. That was Outstanding ! We had visited the Moeraki Boulders, Larnach castle, the Albatross colony. We had gone to Mosgiel to Blackstone cafe & Bar.The menus and the hospitality was outstanding as well. We had travelled as far as Invercargill and Palmerston North to experience The Crib. The Crib had a very homely atmosphere within which we enjoyed so much. We would Highly recommend The Crib.

The Crib
It was a lovely comfortable little cottage right next the ocean with an amazing view of the bay. Perfect access for surfing and swimming. The Ark brewery just down the road was excellent to grab a beer and lovely meal plus live music on Sunday. Just a perfect location. We really enjoyed staying there. Simple, minimalist little crib with everything we needed for a relaxing little getaway.

We had such an amazing stay. The weather was beautiful, we loved swimming in the waves! And then going “home” to the beautiful new deck. Also, our little Jack Russell,Astro, chilled out looking at the view after a tough day surfing! Great place!

Wonderful beach bach
For a family and Grandparents this was a fantastic location. With direct access to the beach and wonderful views of it - the location constantly invited us to get out there and enjoy the beach. A perfect beach for a 4 year old and 2 year old as it is safe and shallow. The bonus being it is pet friendly and we enjoyed long walks along the beach. The family loved the hammock as well. We highly recommend this wonderful bach.
