About this cottage rental

Macbay Retreat is a cosy, romantic holiday home, perched on a hillside overlooking Macandrew Bay with a fabulous view of the Otago Harbour.

Spend your days exploring the Otago Peninsula, enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside from a beautiful seaside village. Spending time at your own holiday home is also something to look forward to, with the opportunity of enjoying the outdoor views from the comfort of your bed.

This is a holiday home that still has all the comforts and amenities that you would require from a holiday home and more including a Smart TV alongside WiFi. Macbay retreat features a large Super King-sized bed that combines a living and dining area with a kitchen. In warmer weather step outside and enjoy your meals outside in the fresh air all the time whilst all the time enjoying views of the bay area.

With Dunedin being only a 15-minute drive away from the home, you’ll be able to stay connected with the rest of the south island. The nearest beach in Macandrew Bay is just a 2-minute drive away with the town having all the conveniences that you would require. Travel further up the Peninsula and see places such as Larnach Castle - considered by many to be New Zealand’s only castle. Right at the top, visit the Royal Albatross Centre, a nature preserve that has been beautifully looked after and would go down very well with any animal lover!

Have a relaxing time at the stunning Macbay Retreat!

The rental is very clean and very comfortable. One of the most comfortable beds and sofas on our month long trip. The only ding I will give it is for the bathroom and the entry. The bathroom is very tiny. The hill to enter the rental is very steep. There are a couple handles to grab at the top and you will need them. It was a bit difficult to manage luggage up and down. There is not much in the way of restaurants nearby. Dunedin is about a 15-20 minute drive. The rental is between the town and area attractions. A person definitely needs a car. We never heard from the host even after sending a text. The rental was clean and comfortable and good for our needs for our visit.

High above the harbour with a meadow out the back windows and a spectacular view of the bay and hills out front. The owners were extremely accommodating and friendly.

Lovely place to stay, perfect location

Charming and warm with an amazing outlook! The huge bed is incredibly comfortable. There are wonderful views from everywhere in the studio, plus everything you need for self-catering and relaxing, even a bbq on the cute little patio, which gets amazing sun. 20 minutes drive to the city in one direction, 20 to the most remote parts of the Otago Peninsular in the other. Wonderful place to stay!
