Everything about the property was great. It is located beside the road so road noise can be heard.

The bungalow was left very clean and tidy but unfortunately there were irreparable scratches on the glass cooktop from cooking popcorn in a frypan. Also the BBQ was left in an unsatisfactory condition.

Lovely, well equipped bungalow with a path to a beautiful beach. We enjoyed the location 15 minutes from Dunedin, outside the hustle of the city but easy access. Lots to see and do for a week in this area with a car. We also enjoyed golfing at several courses.

This cozy bungalow was perfect for our stay in Dunedin. Very clean and nicely appointed. The beach is a short walk away and spectacular, especially at sunrise. We also enjoyed a visit to Larnach Castle & Gardens. We had everything we needed here and our host was gracious and helpful. Highly recommend.

Little seaside home-from-home. Lots of thoughtful touches (the electric underblanket being one), little private backyard with full morning sun. Minutes from a stunning long dog-friendly beach, and a great location to explore the area.
