Delightful cozy warm cottage. Great view across the harbour from the kitchen window and well positioned for walking into town, but remember Dunedin is hilly! Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Great place

We had a great one night stay on our travels. Horrid wet day and it was perfect to have a home from home to cook and enjoy a meal.

All the reviews are true! This is an exceptional place to stay. Beautiful bed linen, stylish decor, everything you need for a stay, fabulous kitchen with amazing views over the harbour and a comfortable bed and great bathroom. Also in a central, quiet location with stunning cottage gardens and plenty of outdoor area. Wonderful hostess who replied immediately- not for any problems- just to ask about the dahlias! Highly recommend.

It was a wonderful cottage. Everything was as described and Sandra was quick to respond and a pleasure to deal with. We used the suggestion she left for breakfast in the morning and that was great. The cottage was close to the restaurants for dinner, although you cook have cooked for yourself if you wanted. We did make use of the washing machine which was clutch when you’re travelling just with carryon

This was my second stay and it only confirmed what I already knew...this place is great. The house was spotlessly clean, with an attention to detail that you rarely come across. Everything felt considered and cared for, making it incredibly cozy and easy to settle right in. I was comfortable from the moment I walked through the door. I have no doubt there will be a third visit! highly recommend!
