We had a wonderful, cosy and memorable stay! Everything provided for quality family time and walks to the beach close-by. The house sings a tune of good times including a piano in the heart of the home, soft couches for reading and a sunny dining table for long, slow meals. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous homely accommodation in the perfect location for prime beach access. We absolutely adored the place and were blown away by the care that clearly went in to preparing for our stay. The hosts were incredibly lovely and easy to communicate with and we could not have asked for a better experience overall!

Lovely family holiday home with all the comforts of home. Enjoyed the Kiwi Scrabble - now I have to go and buy a board for our own collection. Beautifully warm and comfortable. Beach is stunning for long walks, and amazing sky.

Beautiful Gettaway

The accomadation was perfect for my family, plenty of space, perfect location in walking distance to the beach, pellet fire which made it cosy while playing games with the family. The place was well equipped for family and entertainment. The owner was quick to respond to messages when needed. I would certaintly hire the house again, perfect spot.

Nice location / large hose

Really enjoyed the location. Was able to take long walks on the beach while still being close to Dunedin for access to its restaurants. House was large enough for multiple adults and had both washer and dryer which was convenient as this was a stop in a longer trip. We really appreciated the electronic keypad entry since we had people coming and going on different schedules. Would definitely stay hear again if I was ever in the area.

A Peaceful Getaway

The house is a quaint property on the outskirts of Dunedin. The home is warm and comforting providing ample space to relax. Location is right near the beach, a vast uncrowded space ideal for long walks and the odd Sea Lion sighting. The host was very accommodating with every request. Only one disappointment was that there is no TV available which could be a problem with a family of small children. Overall a lovely stay and would certainly go back again.

2-days Dunedin stay

The house is located near the beach and is a good location to view Galaxy / Southern Lights if weather permits. However, it was cloudy during our stays. The landlord responds quickly to our request. Overall, the stay in this property is satisfactory.
