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.

Dunedin Charm

Character cottage that has been renovated with charm and modern appeal. Very well appointed in kitchen and bathroom. Central city location and very quiet. Sandra has added some very welcoming touches. It’s a cosy comfortable cottage with a fabulous view of the city and lovely outdoor areas. Would love to stay again.
