The Harbour Studio is really lovely. Easily accessible. Close to town and supermarkets etc.It was also very warm, and dry despite being winter. The room gets sun all afternoon (if there is sun to be had)Despite sharing access with two other properties, it was lovely and private.I enjoyed a couple of lovely walks along the shared path that runs along the harbour.The standout feature of the studio is the view. Day, night, anytime, you want to keep the curtains open to enjoy it.We ended up staying 2 extra nights.

Lovely Studio Stay Overlooking the Bay

This was a great place to stay while recovering from travel from the US, prior to going on a South Island road trip. The view of the bay was phenomenal, as was the location. Studio was clean, well furnished, nice amenities, and as described/pictured. Highly recommend.

Incredible view

We enjoyed our stay at this unique location. The view was outstanding and we were very comfortable here. The steep driveway is not for everyone, but our vehicle was small and we’re good at using mirrors to reverse. Hey, this town boasts the steepest street in the world! We navigated it alright.The location is a quick drive to the central part of Dunedin, the St Clair Hot Salt Pool, and Lamarck Castle. A lovely drive to the end of the peninsula to see the albatross and penguins, too.

Great stay

I was lucky to hit a couple of nice winter days in Dunedin and had excellent view of the sun setting over the city. The place is close to the city if you have a car or a bike. I didn't have to turn on the AC for heating until the last couple of days and it made the place cosy very quickly. Excellent stay for a solo traveler that eats most of their meals in cafes and restaurants.

Great view and location, clean room, steep driveway!

I was warned about the driveway so no worries but the appt was a bit slim, I kept bumping into the round pillar. The picture is a touch misleading on that. Very well equipped.

Best Staycation Experience!

Outstanding view, even the wet windy weather of Dunedin could not put a damper on this experience. I was forewarned about the steep slope but after living in hilly Dunedin for a couple years, it's fairly straightforward – it helps that the slope is also tarred and smooth. Efficient food delivery around town made up for the lack of kitchen in the unit. Harbour Studio is really perfect as a short getaway from the city within the city. ❤️

Lovely short stay

Pros.. Very quiet when we were there. Lovely views, no need to get out of bed ! Close to town, 4min drive. Lovely walk / bike around the waters edge for 15 k Cons. No drawers to put anything in No wardrobes Live out of your suitcase. Toilet was in with where you store kitchen pots and wash up. No extractor fan in that area.small opening window. Very little / no work surface to prep food. So nice place, we did manage to cook, but difficult.

Beware the driveway

This is a small, clean studio with a lovely view.. no surprises there. The view is presumably the reason fir the price. Nothing else is particularly special. The driveway is steep and the parking is just adequate. We hike, sail, ski and are no strangers to tricky driving but the driveway at this property would present a challenge to many drivers and would be unusable in icy conditions. We used a chock to be sure the car stayed put at top of driveway. We had to chase access details and then the # was left off the entry pin provided which left us unable to gain entry until the neighbours turned up. Process needs a bit of polishing.

Great view of Dunedin City across harbour

We couldn't fault the view, often stunning at sunset. The position is unique in that we see weather on the horizon coming & going. Proximately to city & amenities, such as Andersons Bay, was super easy. In the Summer this property would be ideal for dips in the sea. Bike/walking track at the bottom of the driveway. We enjoyed a couple of walks. We felt apartment was slightly cluttered around the "kitchenette", I wouldn't want to attempt cooking a meal. Thankfully we only made coffee & ate a light breakfast. Parking wasn't too bad. For security sake - park up the driveway. Disappointing was having a visitor of other apartment take the designated parking space, leaving us no option to block another car in. Party upstairs on Saturday night made sleep difficult and we left bleary eyed the next morning.

Loved this little art deco stay, the bay shaped window and the view is stunning. Lots of little improvements could be made to make the space more usable and comfortable. Felt it could have been a little cleaner and the bed was shockingly soft, but you can’t cater to everyone’s needs. Overall a nice stay.
