Sun, space and private beaches!

Appropriately sharing the ambience and warmth of my late mothers name Rānui, our family thoroughly enjoyed thus home. Great amenities and close proximity to everything when needed. The 2min walk to the beach and playground a bonus! Highly recommended.

Lovely family holiday home with all the comforts of home. Enjoyed the Kiwi Scrabble - now I have to go and buy a board for our own collection. Beautifully warm and comfortable. Beach is stunning for long walks, and amazing sky.

Nice location / large hose

Really enjoyed the location. Was able to take long walks on the beach while still being close to Dunedin for access to its restaurants. House was large enough for multiple adults and had both washer and dryer which was convenient as this was a stop in a longer trip. We really appreciated the electronic keypad entry since we had people coming and going on different schedules. Would definitely stay hear again if I was ever in the area.

Beautiful Gettaway

The accomadation was perfect for my family, plenty of space, perfect location in walking distance to the beach, pellet fire which made it cosy while playing games with the family. The place was well equipped for family and entertainment. The owner was quick to respond to messages when needed. I would certaintly hire the house again, perfect spot.

A Peaceful Getaway

The house is a quaint property on the outskirts of Dunedin. The home is warm and comforting providing ample space to relax. Location is right near the beach, a vast uncrowded space ideal for long walks and the odd Sea Lion sighting. The host was very accommodating with every request. Only one disappointment was that there is no TV available which could be a problem with a family of small children. Overall a lovely stay and would certainly go back again.

2-days Dunedin stay

The house is located near the beach and is a good location to view Galaxy / Southern Lights if weather permits. However, it was cloudy during our stays. The landlord responds quickly to our request. Overall, the stay in this property is satisfactory.

Family break

This property worked out well for our stay. The kids loved being close to the beach. Our only bad experience was that it was hot during our stay which meant we had to sleep with the windows open and unfortunately we were mauled by mosquitoes!

Lovely Beach Getaway

Comfortable, warm, clean, nicely furnished house. Contained everything we needed. The kids were in 7th heaven when they discovered the toys and games. Well situated, close to the beach, also close enough to Dunedin for easy day trips. Would definitely stay again!

Affordable cozy coastal getaway for your family!

Having visited Dunedin for the first time, Ranui on the beach was perfect for our family from Otara Sth Auckland. It wasnt too far from town because the views distracted any gas monitoring. The house itself was a holiday in itself-everything you need is all packed in this cute 2 level homely home. Having no tv at the house meant our kids played board games, spent time at the white sandy beach which is literally a 5min walk and the world is your oyster when you seize the morning from the master bedroom window. Such a lovely feeling looking foward to coming home after a days out exploring Dunedin, Invercargill etc Lauren checked on us when the recent flooding hit central Otago, thankfully we were not affected as bad as most around Brighton Rustic, cozy, homely and beachy yet family friendly (catered to a pacific island family might i add) i would so come back to Dunedin, first stop Ranui at the beach. Thank you Becker family!

Chilled out beach pad.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ranui. The house is comfortable and roomy and set up with nearly everything you might need. 5 minutes walk to playground and beach and well positioned to capture as much sun as possible! Indoor outdoor flow is great! House was warm, even when it snowed, we loved all of the places available to lounge around and read a book!
