Stay in School by the Sea

Located just 15 minutes from Dunedin City Centre and 18kms from Dunedin International Airport, on the Southern Scenic Route, Ocean View Apartment offers fresh, attractive, modern decor in the office end of what was formerly the Ocean View School.

Our apartment is a lazy 5 minute stroll to the pristine white sands of Ocean View beach that beg to be explored and enjoyed. Vast and wild, with growing visits from the NZ Sea Lion and NZ Fur Seal, the local beach is a super spot for landboard riding, horse riding, surfing, running or getting out for a brisk walk. It is banked by gorgeous native grass covered sand dunes and looks as long as the eye can see and more. The safer Brighton beach offers volunteer surf lifesaving patrollers from early November until late March annually and is a great beach to take the kids as it has a shallow, slow flowing estuary for the very young child to enjoy.
Special conditions:
Guest must leave the apartment as they find it. Please strip the beds leaving the mattress and pillow protectors, duvets and queen bed coloured pillow covers in place - in other words only remove white linens. We will make up the beds with fresh linen ready for new guests.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$50.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Amazing old school accomodation
Nicky was super friendly and welcoming. We love outdoor aread with lots of activities to do. The set up is very welcoming for Young families with spacious rooms. Nicky let us change set up of single beds so kids could all sleep together. We would definitely recommend this accomodation.
