As soon as we arrived Donna proactively gave us a quick tour of the city on what we can do, where we can go, where to eat etc which was so helpful given that we were there just for one night. The property exceeded our expectation. We also had a hot tub (jacuzzi) in the room. The room was clean and had all amenities. Would highly recommend staying here if you are exploring Dunedin. It's a beautiful town with beautiful architecture & more

Our room was really spacious, comfortable and very clean. We were delighted to find that tea, coffee and some little milk cartons had been left for us. Our bed was large, cozy and we slept well. There was very little noise at all. The shower was powerful., and the body soap and shampoo were useful.

Lovely place, very comfortable and clean, full of books and handwritten advice about where to go and what to eat while in Dunedin. Never interacted with the host in person, but friendly interactions via message. It felt cozy, homey, and still private. I would absolutely stay here again.
