Beautiful cottage and property
We were very impressed with the ‘cottage’ which is actually a full living space. Eclectic decorating really well done and very enjoyable. The patio off the front door is by the creek and beautiful as well as relaxing. We highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again one day.

Quirky Accommodation Close to the City Centre
This place is very original! There’s a stream running through a small cottage garden - and the inside is equally unusual with lots of ornaments and bric-à-brac adding to the character. Very convenient for the city centre with a local Woolworth supermarket also close.

Quaint little cottage
Brookside Cottage proved to be a great spot to unwind for a few days - central to where we needed to be, but quite private as well - would definitely stay there again.

Quiet and surprisingly roomy
We enjoyed our stay in the brookside cottage — the beds are comfortable, the place is very quiet, and it’s homey but also surprisingly roomy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some simple meals, too. The cottage is a bit outside the city center of Dunedin, which wasn’t an issue for us because we had a car. Driving into the city center only took about 5-10 min.
