Lovely spot in Dunedin. Lisa made us feel so special with lovely additions of bread and fresh flowers. Quite a delightful spot near all the prime locations in Dunedin and the place has wonderful views. We enjoyed playing records on the turntable and lounging in the lovely living room. Highly recommend this exquisite Edwardian grand home.

Perfect for a Special Treat
Having stayed at this amazing villa we opted to treat our daughter and family for her Graduation. It was conveniently close to all the downtown activities and made for a wonderful backdrop for family portraits we organised with a professional photographer. With little ones in tow the well resourced kitchen and cosy dinette was well used. Lisa had left lots of stores and her communication in identifying any extra needs for this special occasion was superb. Recommend this classy accommodation for anyone wanting to treat themselves in beautiful Dunedin. Thank you Lisa for allowing us to share your beautifully presented home with all its wonderful treasures John & Ann

Equiped with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable we will certainly look to stay here again. Lisa could not have been more helpful or easier to communicate with - all in all a superb stay, thank you.

A fabulous property. Book it now!
We had an amazing four week stay at this property. It was wonderful in every way! It's difficult to write a review that does it justice. The house is architecturally beautiful and has a wonderful array of rooms and spaces to spread out and enjoy yourself. Upon entering the house, you'll immediately notice that it is beautifully decorated, with interesting art and a comfortable feel. It's a welcoming and fun home. The patio is especially inviting. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space as well as the indoor space! Loved the location- so close to everything! Dunedin itself has much to offer. We walked to restaurants, museums, the grocery, Saturday Farmer's Market, etc. And within a 30 minute drive there are many hikes and walks and so much fabulous scenery to enjoy. The owner, Lisa, is very responsive to any questions and is easy and enjoyable to interact with. You'll be ever so glad you booked this home!

Beyond wonderful!!
Exquisite, sumptuous home! Beautiful appliances, towels, bedding etc. Art and antiques in the home are visually stunning. The whole atmosphere is one of comfort, care, pride, and attention to detail. The owner is lovely and thinks of everything - we had lovely bread provided, tea, coffee, milk and preserves. The home radiates warmth in every sense - physical and metaphorical. "And its guests shall rise up, and call it blessed." Gillian :)

Fantastic host
Lisa is an amazing host and we could not fault her communication and organisation of our stay. Unfortunately we were in Dunedin under difficult and stressful circumstances and Lisa was incredibly understanding and accommodating for our family. The house is lovely and just a short walk to main street and numerous eateries. Would definitely recommend Lisa and this property.

Stately but homely
A beautiful home with lovely old-world features but all the mod-cons to make for a very comfortable stay. Eclectic furniture and art added to the charm of the house. So close to town, and yet a hideway with private back garden, BBQ and wonderful spa pool. Lisa was a very charming and helpful host. Our stay here was wonderful.

There really should be a six star rating for superior accommodations such as this. We were very impressed by the quality of the furnishings, the amenities, the attention to detail and the overall ambience. The patio with a small terraced garden was also delightful. We loved every minute of our stay here and highly recommend it. Roger & Charles. (Chicago)

Grand stay in a grand old lady!
We stayed four nights in this property and really enjoyed our time there. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. We really appreciated the extra touches like the kitchen supplies which made it really easy to settle in, especially as we arrived quite late on our first night. The house is gorgeous with high ceilings, large rooms and quality furnishings. The best thing was that it felt like a home and had great personality! The kitchen is all kitted out with everything you need, the beds were very comfortable, the wifi worked great, internet TV was perfect, although we did not spend much time watching TV as we were too busy enjoying beautiful Dunedin with temperatures in the high 20s. The great thing about the grand size of the house was that it stayed cool even when outside was very warm. There was a lovely courtyard outside with many flowers and a BBQ (which we made good use of). We will definitely be back again! Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and very professional. We would recommend this property to anyone - just wonderful!

Fantastic, welcoming, best ever!!
We were steps from downtown, 4 blocks from the grocery store. The house was a treat. Old Victorian home, each space was a treat. We enjoyed appetizers on the back deck, and ate dinner in the front dining room overlooking the street. I wish we had stayed more than 2 nights.
