The interior is decorated with classic, and has many beautiful paintings. The room is absolutely tidy and comfortable, along with compliments like delicious potato chips and T2 tea, which is very classic and warming. Also, there is hairdryer,slippers and supplements which is very nice. The reception is friendly and helpful, especially lovely doggy Lola, making the stay a unique experience!

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.

The apartment is just stunningly beautiful and clean. I was very much looking forward to the stay after reading the reviews and seeing the photos. I can say that my expectations were fully met, if not exceeded to an extent. I wish we could have stayed longer. Andrew was super kind and helpful. He responded to my messages within a few minutes and came to our door to help. Highly recommend this accommodation! Beats so many five-star hotels I’ve stayed at before!

We absolutely loved our stay. We were greeted upon arrival and immediately felt welcomed and at home. The room was perfect and even had biscuits and lollies. The bed felt like a marshmallow and we even had our own balcony which overlooked the water. The bathroom was super clean and the shower was great. The house is centrally located and is super close to Larnachs Castle which we absolutely loved. We couldn’t recommend staying with Paul and Paulo more. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Dunedin!
