Sunny Stylish Spectacular views

MichaelRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Great location out on Otaga peninsula with beautiful views over the water. Secluded and peaceful and great for accessing all the wildlife activities on the peninsula while still being a short drive into city. Everything matched photos and nice having nespresso machine and milk frother for quick cappuccinos in morning while watching sunrise over water. We did have one small issue with hot water on 2nd morning (only one of 3 could take hot shower) but then no issue 3rd day. We believe it may have been because we did several loads of laundry night before and hot water tank may not have refilled sufficiently overnight. Tracey was very responsive and again was just a temporary issue but maybe keep an eye on laundry timing in mind. Of all the places we stayed on the South Island, this was the family favorite, given the location and views. Would highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying on return trip!

Private Guest Suite, Close to City!

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Nicky was a great host - nearby and responsive to any queries, but we felt as though we were in our own space the whole time. The space was roomy and had everything we needed, and although it was freezing outside, the room warmed up quickly with the heat pump. Visitors would need a car, as it's a decent walk into town down the hill. I would stay here again if visiting Dunedin in the future.

A modern bathroom features a glass-enclosed shower and a sleek vanity with a white countertop. A large mirror reflects the light, while dark fixtures and neutral tiles create a tidy space. Toiletries and essentials are neatly arranged for convenience.
