Clifftop Curio Bay Retreat | Views, Design & Income

Perched high above the bay, this architecturally designed retreat captures everchanging ocean views from one of the most elevated vantage points in Curio Bay. Bathed in natural light and thoughtfully designed for efficiency and comfort, this is a rare coastal sanctuary where modern living meets authentic Southland character.

Locally sourced Southland larch cladding pairs beautifully with macrocarpa decking and pergola, while long-run scoria cladding pays homage to the iconic rural barns scattered across the southern landscape. The result is a striking yet timeless exterior that sits effortlessly within its wild coastal surroundings. Inside, warm plywood-lined interiors continue the rural aesthetic, creating inviting spaces filled with light and texture. The open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly to sheltered outdoor spaces where you can relax, entertain, and take in the dramatic bay views.

Currently enjoyed as a private holiday retreat, the property also performs exceptionally well as a short-term rental. With consistent Airbnb and Home Exchange bookings, it offers both a lifestyle escape and an income opportunity, achieving approximately $56,000-$65,000 in returns between 2023-2025, with nightly rates around $300 per night. Just 50 minutes from Invercargill Airport with direct flights to Auckland, and within driving distance of Queenstown (2h 45m) and Dunedin (2h 30m), this is an elevated coastal escape that feels wonderfully remote yet remains surprisingly accessible.
