A simple, straightforward approach allows a Karitane holiday home to open its heart to the sea

摘要

They're not boaties. And they don't go fishing. But Dunedin city dwellers Sue Nash and Michael Bird love the sea. When they discovered a prime beachfront property for sale on a Sunday drive to Karitane about three years ago, they were so taken with the spectacular views they decided to buy it then and there.Owning "a wee place" beside the sea was something Sue had often dreamed about. And, although the home-away-from-home she and Michael have built on the site isn't exactly "a wee place" - it has three bedrooms, a dressing room, two bathrooms and a spacious open-plan living area - it fulfils their expectations of the perfect seaside retreat.
