Cottage in Dunedin

Seabreeze Cottage, by the ocean in Brighton, Otago

AmruthaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Beautiful seaside cottage with access to the beach right across the road! Very accessible to go to Dunedin. Janet was very responsive and she was very thoughtful in leaving us breakfast and bread. The cottage had toys and beach amenities to enjoy! We had the most wonderful time :) will definitely be visiting again!

Classic Kiwi bach with a modern touch

NonRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We are a family of 4 and we stayed at The Bach for 2 nights. We enjoyed it so much we'll likely return here next time. The house is very well equipped and even has a really nice Webber grill! There are lots of games to keep kids entertained. The kitchen and the bedrooms and the living room are all modern and cozy. The bathrooms are very clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable (we like mattresses with moderately firmness, which they are). The house is only a 15-minutes drive from Central Dunedin and is located in a very peaceful and quiet area. Stan is also a great host who respond quickly to your questions. Overall, we had a wonderful time at the Bach.

Secluded waterfront new-build - 5min walk to beach

BernieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Loveday's house is just as beautiful as in the photos. It feels quite new and is well insulated and sealed against the elements. There was wood for the fire and three portable heaters which were plenty enough. We loved the decorating and views out over the creek below. There are so many different species of birds in the garden it was amazing. Walking to the beach took minutes in a beautiful location. There are two bathrooms and a bath which was handy. There isn't a TV or WiFi , and my phone reception was one bar if that is a dealbreaker for you, but that meant we really switched off, relaxing, reading and getting a full night's sleep, which was quite restorative and better than watching the idiot box or doom scrolling on the socials. Loveday left chocolates and a great list of local places to go and eat. There are 12 long shallow steps down from the road amongst a rainforest and outdoor shower, which was a lovely entrance to the house. Great deck and more, ta!

Sensational St Clair!

SueRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Wonderful spot to stay - well appointed, comfortable, sunny and warm. Lovely outdoor area to catch the sun. Very peaceful and quiet. St Clair is a unique part of Dunedin and it was an easy flat walk down to the beach and its cafes and shops. Handy corner story five minutes walk away. Only a short drive to the inner city. Magic spot to relax.

Fabulous beach front house by the sea

AshleeRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Thank you for a lovely stay in Brighton at your beach house. We enjoyed the location, especially being so close to the beach. The house was well presented and tidy. With the added bonus of a trampoline and wee play house outside and games/movies for the family. Would love to stay again 😊

Beautiful Stone Cottage

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 370 reviews3 days ago

Nice place on the mountain with lush green surroundings. Just a couple of minutes drive from the main city and worth it! Enjoyed the stay, had all the amenities that we were looking for, and beautiful view of surroundings from the windows. Take a short walk and one can enjoy the ocean views! Leeanne (the host) was very helpful and responsive; loved talking to her to know the history of this place. Thank you!!

42 The Bach - couples retreat

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviews1 month ago

I traveled by bus to the Bach, and Tracey came to fetch me from the bus stop without any cost. As if that wasn’t enough, she took me to a near by organic shop where I got a few supplies and she offered to grab some of her fresh vegetables from the garden! My partner and I really enjoyed the beauty of this Bach and the long walk at the beach was exceptional, we couldn’t see the seal lions but we ended up at this adventurous cave and we felt like we were treasure hunters lol. We will definitely revisit this place and it’s one for the books.

Harbourside Studio Apartment 'seven'

Kerry’s place is a salve to homogenised accommodation and culture in general. It celebrates creativity, originality and colour! Kerry is a lovely host too. It’s a bit of a hike out of town and you will probably need a car but worth it for something unique.

Peninsula Solitude

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 152 reviews3 weeks ago

I could not fault this place. It couldn't be better for accessing the Otago Peninsular, though less so Dunedin (but that wasn't important to us). the bedroom is large, quiet and comfortable. The single bed is in the living room, but worked well for this father/son combo. The bath and shower were good and there is a separate toilet. I couldn't recommend more highly.

St Clair Bungalow Retreat

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviews2 months ago

We stayed in Jock's place for six weeks and loved every minute. The beds were great and everything was clean and comfortable. We played pool and enjoyed the hot tub daily. Jock is an arborist and the backyard is lovely, with a lemon tree and other fruit trees that produced fruit that we ate. The location is perfect; near the beach, shops, and restaurants. We could walk to a local grocery store, Four Square (and it was a fast drive to other, larger grocery stories such as Count Down and New World). Walking to Four Square also took us past the butchery where we bought great meats (so much lamb!) and past the "friendly orange cat," which is mentioned Apple Maps! We'd certainly stay here again. It felt like home away from home.

Macandrew Bay Studio Hideaway Otago Peninsula

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 281 reviews1 month ago

Linda's place is the perfect location for anyone looking to explore the Otago Peninsula or Dunedin, being only a short drive away. There is also a bus route running by at the bottom of the hill. Chris, Linda's husband is full of local suggestions on where to go and what to do. It's the perfect place to enjoy peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Dunedin.

New luxury waterfront accommodation

CynthiaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

One of my family’s favorite stays and extremely comfortable. Bjorn greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour, including how to use the heated floors in the bathrooms! He is friendly and my family enjoyed chatting with him. The location is stunning, across the street from the bay and a walking/biking path. Everything in the unit is expertly furnished. The couches are very comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom was spacious and had enough counter space for everyone’s toiletries. This was also the only place we stayed that had a dryer. There is another Airbnb upstairs who we saw park shortly after us but we didn’t hear anything. Another unit is next door on the first floor (well separated by a divider on the patio) but we didn’t see or hear anything during our stay. Overall great place and we were sad to leave after 1 night. The peninsula drive there is beautiful too.

Beach Front 3 bedroom Apartment at St Clair

The perfect spot to stay in St Clair. Views of the beach from every room, walk downstairs to bars and restaurants. Highly recommend Spirit House for a Thai/Vietnamese feed! Highlight were the sea lions along the beach and watching seals swimming right out front.

Long Beach Seaside Retreat

EdRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We enjoyed our stay at Christine's place and would stay there again. Our group had four adults and two children. There was plenty of space for all of us. The nicely landscaped yard and expansive deck were much appreciated and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. On the short walk from the house to the beach we were even fortunate enough to see a baby sea lion.
