Unbeatable Location – Gateway to Otago Peninsula Wonders
Nestled in the tranquil sanctuary of Harwood, Portobello, this is your private gateway to the rich scenic beauty and natural history delights of the greater Otago Peninsula. Think stunning waterfront views, coastal walks, wildlife encounters (including penguins, seals and albatross), numerous beaches, historic sites, and endless outdoor adventures — all on your doorstep. Quiet, private, and surrounded by nature, yet only a short 30 minute drive time from Dunedin’s vibrant city centre. Dunedin, the “Edinburgh of the South” is a magnet for those who love all that historic Edwardian and Victorian architecture, the huge array of cafes, restaurants, galleries and of course, the plethora of public services that come with a major city.

Everything is brand new, stylish, and ready to go. The building is comfortable, contemporary, and includes all furnishings and equipment across the two apartments - just move in or start earning immediately from afar.
This is a rare opportunity to own a versatile, income-producing waterfront retreat in one of Dunedin’s most sought-after coastal enclaves.

Kakianau Retreat has commenced operation as a short term holiday business in mid-June 2025 and as such has not had a full year of operation. The last four months (Nov to Feb) has seen occupancy of 82% and a gross return in this quarter of $39,531.
This business is in its infancy and can be developed and grown. My vendor has moved to Australia and is looking to liquidate assets in New Zealand. Kakianau is currently managed by an onsite manager.
