About this property

Charming villa on tree-lined street

This 1900s villa is set up for both relaxing and business trips, families with older children, couples or small groups. It has plenty of character from the gardens to the decor. It sits on a tree lined street with a creek behind it. From the deck you will hear the birds chirping and water running while you cook on the bbq. The cottage garden is charming when in bloom. The house is comfortable and cosy in winter with a wood burner and heat pump. The bedrooms have panel heaters and there is a heat transfer system which can keep the house at a comfortable temperature. The beds have hypoallergenic mattress and pillow protectors and quality cotton sheets with bedding for all temperatures. The shower has great water pressure and there is a separate bath which is ideal for unwinding. The living room is cosy and sits on one side of the fully equipped kitchen with entertainer's oven. On the other side of the kitchen is the dining room which seats up to six. There you will find a book and DVD collection to keep you entertained and lightning fast Gigatown internet speeds to use with your devices . If you are driving there is off street parking and plenty of additional parking on the street. There is also a bus stop 3 minutes away and the Botanic Gardens, Garden's supermarket, various eateries, bars and a pharmacy are all a leisurely 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive away. The University is a 7 minute drive or a 30 minute walk through the Botanic Gardens. The Forsyth Barr Stadium is 10 minutes by car and it is 15 minutes to the city centre, the hospital and pretty much any other amenities you will want or need during your stay.
Special conditions:
Smoking is allowed outside only. This property is not suitable for toddlers or young children unless always attended as the fencing may not keep them in the property. Older children are welcome. No parties. Please leave the villa clean and tidy.

Lovely house, ideal for our needs

The house suited what we needed to accommodate various family members and to be close to our Dunedin family. Really appreciated the wood burner which kept the living space cosy on the cold winter mornings and evenings. Nadine and Jake were very responsive to queries and fixing the dripping tap. Overall very happy.

Paradise

This beautiful little house was exactly what we needed for our family of 4 adults. The house had every convenience and was comfortable and warm. It was close to public transport with a flat 3 minute walk to catch the frequent buses. Nadine was easy to contact and very helpful, preheating the house for our arrival. The bonus was the garden and birdsong. Can't wait to return.

Lovely decor and quiet pleasant location

There was everything we needed here including lots of heating. We were very impressed with the wood burner and all the beautifully cut firewood. We also enjoyed discovering Chingford Park down the end of the Place.

A wonderful house in quiet neighborhood!

This house has lots of space, and is well-equipped. It was especially nice to have a kitchen that allowed us to actually cook a meal! The garden/yard is wonderful...with lots of native plants, and birds... The location is also very good. We used this house as a base for four days of travel in and around the area. If back in the area, we would definitely stay here again!

Cute cottage

We really loved staying in this house. It was old but full of character and had all the important things to feel comfortable and cosy. Especially liked using the BBQ on the back deck listening to the sound of the little brook. Very handy (walkable) to some of Dunedins best bits, including the botanic gardens. Nadine was lovely too. Will be back we hope

About the host

Hosted by Nadine_and_Jake

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Nadine and I am a photographer who lives in Dunedin, a brilliant small city filled with arts, great food and even better coffee. My partner Jake originally came from Korea and is a home handyman and golfer by day and a chef, creating some of that great food, by night!

Why they chose this property

This house, built at the start of last century was originally purchased as my home because I loved the features, the feel and the light. I also loved the rambling cottage garden and the green and private back yard. I always wanted a house with water nearby and when there is enough water in the creek, the sun is high, and the trees green, it is like being in the countryside. It is situated in North East Valley which is a great part of town filled with friendly people and small local businesses.

What makes this property unique

An ideal house for relaxing but also in walking distance to Baldwin Street, the world's steepest residential street! It is also in walking distance to the bus stop or the Gardens supermarket and other stores. It is a 10 minute drive to the stadium, and 15 minutes in busy traffic to the city centre, the beach or pretty much anywhere! I love vintage and retro furnishing and this house suits the items I gathered over time.
