This is lovely accommodation set close to the city center and out of town. The host is simple amazing

“Comfortable accommodation in quiet rural locality”

Well appointed and comfortable lodge in quiet rural surroundings .Support from hosts. Direct route to city centre. Several good restaurants nearby.

Cosy and comfortable with lots of extra touches and small amenities.

“A fantastic place to unwind and relax.”

We loved the peaceful setting and the goats. Ngaire was very welcoming on arrival.

“Perfect! I’ve never ever stayed at such an amazing place.”

This is the best accommodation in my life! If we come to Dunedin, we definitely would book here again. The host's warmth and attention to detail were exceptional. She prepared the beds as requested, make the room to be comfortable with the air conditioner before our arrival, and welcomed us with a hand-writing card. The cottage was extremely clean. My wife was impressed because she is a cleaning-focused person. Everything, from the kitchenware to the linens, was spotless and in order. The host's generosity was overwhelming. She provided animal feed for our child and refill it without us asking. We were deeply touched by such kindness. This is a truly special place. We sincerely hope future guests will treat this treasure and the host's incredible hospitality with the most respect it deserves.

“Fabulous farm stay.”

Everything. A beautifully presented cottage. Ngaire had thought of everything. The breakfast basket with fresh eggs, porridge, breads and spreads. The bed was super comfortable and a great lounge. Meeting the baby goats as we drove in was lovely. She even had food for us to feed them as well as the chickens and deer. Would highly recommend staying here.

Clean, comfortable and with a welcoming feel. Lots on information in the house about things to do. Very friendly host as well. House was big, great shower and lovely bed. We enjoyed our stay.

“Fantastic, don’t miss it:)”

Quietness, surrounded by animals and native birds, the privacy, so close to the city, loved it here:)

“Stunning location, cannot praise this property enough”

Breakfast not applicable. Location out of town really suited, beautifully quiet. The hostess had thought of every little detail and was a very helpful and obliging

“Totally enjoyed our stay, and would do so again.”

Private, serene and comfortable

It was clean, comfortable, children were happy that we could feed the goats, chickens etc. We had a wonderful stay.

“Excellent for young and old alike.”

Lovely, quiet rural setting within easy driving distance of Dunedin. Accommodation is one only stand alone cottage within 40 metres of host’s house but screened by attractive garden. Cottage very well equipped and comfortable.

Ngaire was very communicative from the get go. This gave me confidence as it is a private homestay. The cottage is located just at the edge of town but a short drive gets you to most places in Dunedin. The cottage is just behind the owners' home with parking for one car. It is extremely clean(no stains inside the kettle or residual crumbs in the toaster). Bed mattresses are nice and firm and bedlinens are extremely comfortable. The kitchenette is suitable for light cooking with a microwave to heat up food and special containers where you can make omelettes or sunny side up eggs(my first time doing this in a microwave !). There is no stove top (this keeps the inside of the cottage fresh) but heavy cooking can be done on the bbq outside. The rest of the kitchenette is well kitted out and if you take the breakfast package, you can avail of the freshly laid eggs from their free roaming chickens. Throughout the cottage you can see the care that Ngaire has put into it. Air purifier to keep the rooms fresh and odour free. Warmers for cold days- although we were here in summer, the nights were chilly but the cottage remained warm and cosy. A comprehensive welcome manual including onsite information and instructions, recommended dining options and things to do around Dunedin can be found in the room. They even offer a tour of the farm by their 2 sons! Unfortunately, our stay was too brief to avail of this! Ngaire is welcoming and left us a small treat when we declined the simple daily servicing. We can feel the care and love she has poured into this little slice of heaven. Best of all was to wake up to the soft mists of the highlands with goats, chooks and deer all around. Barely any city sounds, just nature at its best. If you want to experience something different and enjoy the great hospitality of this family, hesistate no more and book a stay here! I will stop here and leave the other enjoyable bits for you to discover...

“Beautiful location”

Loved all the small personal touches

“Great Location and Comfortable Place to Stay”

A quiet location but easy drive from the town, was very comfortable. Bed was very comfortable, place was very clean and great hospitality. Would definitely stay again

Very clean, a quiet location, and yet still close to the city. Welcoming hosts who provided some very thoughtful extras beyond what we have experienced elsewhere.

“Mini family stay”

It felt like a home away from home. Everything had been thought of. It was so tranquil, and my kids adored feeding the animals.

“Nice little cottage”

We really enjoyed our stay at your cottage. Beautiful rural view of trees and paddocks. The beds are comfortable and warm. The cottage is warm and had good heating. It is so clean. The room servicing is good. It's quiet. The kids enjoyed looking at the animals and the baby was happy with all the different toys in the toy box. It honestly exceeded our expectations and we'll be sure to book here for our next trip to Dunedin 🙂

“Very welcoming and comfortable.”

Lovely and quiet, VERY comfy beds, close to Dunedin but still a rural setting. The hosts have thought of everything you may need, a wee gem.

“Would strongly recommend.”

Very good location. Clean and comfortable. Hosts are always willing to assist with requests.
