My family loved staying here for a couple nights. There were fun and engaging books for the kids to read, it was close to everywhere we wanted to be, and the hosts were kind and helpful and excellent communicators. We would all be happy to stay here again!

A wonderful stay in Dunedin in Maori Hill. A large house with lots of room and well heated - we had some chilly days. The house had everything we needed.

Everything was perfect. The only thing missing was a freezer for ice cream and other frozen items. The host was lovely and very helpful.

Great spot to rest while exploring Dunedin!

This was a lovely house and a beautiful neighborhood that made a great home base exploring Dunedin for a few days. Lots of room for us and our two kids to spread out and relax at the end of the day.

The house was spacious, with large bedrooms and a fully appointed kitchen. It was unseasonably cold when we were there mid-January, but the two heat pumps and three oil column heaters provided were very effective.

The kitchen decor was a tad dated, but this house is so perfectly stocked and set up for a stay. Shower was lovely, everything provided, well stocked kitchen utensils etc. Just bring yourselves. It was cold while we visited Dunedin but the heat pumps warmed the house.

Clean and tidy

A nice place for a few days. It was cold when were there, but the heat pumps (2) worked well. And there’s an actual fireplace in the lounge and wood. The manager lives nearby - mostly a good thing 😊. Any queries easily addressed. We’d stay again.

Pleasant stay at Maori Hill

The house is nestled in a beautiful, tranquil garden. The house itself has stunning printed high ceilings and had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. I would recommend letting guests know beforehand there's no off-street parking and the walk up to the house is on quite a steep incline making it quite difficult for people with disabilities or the aged. All taken into consideration we would love to stay there again.

Long weekend accommodation for Uni Move In Weekend 2025

Good location and house has everything you need. Clean and tidy. On street parking only and steep path and stairs to front door which while okay for our group might not be suitable for everyone. Generally a quiet area - unfortunately the three nights we were there someone close by had very loud music blasting until the early hours which wasn't ideal.
