Hilltop guest room: Escape the city!

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

I can’t recommend this place enough. A cosy little hideaway with beautiful views right atop the peninsula it’s a great base to visit the city and appreciate nature. It has everything you’d need and feels so homely. We really enjoyed doing the Triple Combo experience to see the albatross, boat trip in the bay, and see the penguins with OPERA. We also had a wonderful day exploring Dunedin seeking out the street art. Angus is the perfect host. I can’t express this enough. Utterly helpful in every way with useful tips and insights about the area that he very generously shared with us. Thank you, Angus, we have really enjoyed resting up in this wonderful bolt hole and chatting with you. It will remain a highlight of our travels.

Long Beach Seaside Retreat

EdRating, 5 stars4 months ago

We enjoyed our stay at Christine's place and would stay there again. Our group had four adults and two children. There was plenty of space for all of us. The nicely landscaped yard and expansive deck were much appreciated and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. On the short walk from the house to the beach we were even fortunate enough to see a baby sea lion.

Honey Farm Cottage - Otago NZ

MeganRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Carlee's place is a must try! We were greeted by the animals and then a mini personalized welcome msg as we enter the cottage. The cottage is very clean and super comfortable. Heaters in the toilet and living room were very on point. Kept us warm and cozy! The bread, honey, fruit and breakfast options were a lovely bonus. You could see the sunrise from the rooms, and starry skies at night. Carlee was also incredibly responsive and helpful and so was her daughter who brought us around the farm to feed the animals. The animals were so adorable! We had a blast! We really could not recommend this spot more!
