Quiet 2 night stay

This was a cozy place to stay. About 20 minutes outside Dunedin in a quiet neighborhood. We had access to a wonderful beach and within easy driving distance to several places along the coast to view sea lions, albatross, and an ecosystem reserve. We stayed in late Feb - this might be a much busier place in high summer due to easy beach access.

Relaxing stay

We stayed 6 days as we visited family and toured the area. Lindsey’s place was a wonder base, relaxing and beautiful; gardens and quiet home. Simple but all that was needed for a quiet and relaxing visit. Host was wonderful, very communicative and responsive. Morning coffee and evening wine on the porch with flowers, bees and nice view of the hillside. A very relaxing and refreshing venue!

great little cottage to get away from it all at the seaside, private, within walking distance to beach, was just what we needed, really appreciated that the kitchen had salt and oil as I had forgotten to pack those.
