Brighton Beach Riverside cottage

Brighton is only 20 minutes from Dunedin CBD and yet has a completely unique charm and beautiful environment all of it's own. The Brighton River side cottage looks out over the lovely Otokia creek as it flows out to the beach and the surrounding lush vegetation that draws native birds and wading birds. The cosy cottage is only a 5 minute walk to both the swimming beach and coastal walks. The cottage has been decorated to maintain it's character yet add comfort and style. It is truly a peaceful place to rest and reset and yet very handy to Dunedin, Taieri Mouth and further south.

Great

It was a blessing staying here. The weather was marginal, however if you pop out on the deck, there are tuis, fantails, and black swans popping past. It's a great spot. Thanks.
