Delightful!
This is a very attractive and charming home. It has lovely outside areas to sit front and back, and inside the furnishings are luxurious and sophisticated. The location was very convenient to central Dunedin although walking back up the hills a bit of a challenge so we mainly took the car.

This is a delightful property to stay at: tastefully decorated and very well equipped, it is comfortable, spacious with a welcoming ambience and a great view. The centre of the city is walkable, and a cheap taxi-ride home! Our second stay - we'll be back!

Dunedin Charm
Character cottage that has been renovated with charm and modern appeal. Very well appointed in kitchen and bathroom. Central city location and very quiet. Sandra has added some very welcoming touches. It’s a cosy comfortable cottage with a fabulous view of the city and lovely outdoor areas. Would love to stay again.

Cosy Home away from Home
This property is everything it claimed to be ! The views and the charm made it a pleasant place to stay for the 4 nights we were in Dunedin. The bottle of wine Sandra left and the notes were a lovely touch. There was cereals, pasta and many more food ingredients if you wanted to self cater and had forgotten something. Parking the car on the road was no hassle as there was always space. Be aware though that if you have heavy bags the steep path could cause issues getting down and up from the house The main downstairs bed was a double we believed but was very comfortable - we have a king at home and had just come from accommodation with one also so was a bit snuggly. It was fine in winter but I imagine if you are used a bit more room in summer it is something to be aware of. It doesn't lack for anything and the out door spaces would be magic in the summer firing up the BBQ. Thanks for your hospitality Sandra and hopefully we will return in the future to enjoy your home and see the new kitchen :)
