City cottage was great. Such a sweet little house! It was spotlessly clean with beautiful linen and towels. A view of the city too. Warm and inviting. Our lovely host left us a welcome message and some treats to enjoy. I’d definitely recommend and will book again if back in Dunedin.

After not visiting Waitati for over 10 years, my sister and I were excited to spend a couple of nights there. We were welcomed warmly by Allan and the dogs, and given a bowl of free-range eggs! The accomodation itself was tidy, warm and very comfortable, with all the amenities you would need. The views of nature out the windows were just perfect. More than anything, it felt like a home away from home and I can't wait to come back and stay there again. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Ngaire was incredibly accomodating with our one week stay. She provided absolutley everything we needed to feed, bath and entertain a toddler. When we arrived my boy was straight into the toys laid out for him. The farm tour was a higlight for him with goats, chicken and deer.The place was beautiful and peaceful a welcome retreat from our busy days. The sunrise and sunsets were stunning. Great location to access Dunedin city and mosgiel. Kitchenette with microwave,jug and bbq. Other cooking items such as cooking pans and pots on request. We will defintely look to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Ngaire and family.The setting is beautifully peacefusp

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.The unit was beautifully clean with all you require.I loved having the chickens and cat to keep us company.The only thing to be aware of is you are quite close to the hosts property.
