Great House with excellent view
Suffice to say we would stay here again if we return to Dunedin. Everything we needed was in the house. There were 2 outdoor sitting areas - perfect for a late afternoon wine. Don't hesitate!

Family visit
City cottage was great. Such a sweet little house! It was spotlessly clean with beautiful linen and towels. A view of the city too. Warm and inviting. Our lovely host left us a welcome message and some treats to enjoy. I’d definitely recommend and will book again if back in Dunedin.

A stunning stay and beautiful home
This was one of the most beautiful abodes I have stayed in years. The decor was stylish and comfortable, the furnishings and accessories elevated our entire experience, and the views and garden space were fantastic. The photos sint prepare us for how well situated and equipped Sandra's house was. Every moment of our stay was restful, convenienced by every thoughtful addition our host had defided to contribute. When we next return to Dunedin we will certainly be looking to rebook. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Delightful!
This is a very attractive and charming home. It has lovely outside areas to sit front and back, and inside the furnishings are luxurious and sophisticated. The location was very convenient to central Dunedin although walking back up the hills a bit of a challenge so we mainly took the car.
