New luxury waterfront accommodation
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 1 Bedroom Apartment
A comfortable, clean, homey apartment with plenty of room for my husband and I to spend 4 wonderful days. Stunning ocean views. Well stocked kitchen for meal prep, also good restaurants and cafes nearby. Gracious and responsive hosts made us feel right at home. Would stay again and certainly recommend to others.

We really enjoyed our stay at JPs. The location was great and we walked everywhere. JP was very thoughtful having fresh bread for us as well as offering local tips.

Waterfront 'Pudding Island Cottage'
Great house, cosy and very well equipped, fantastic location. We would definitely stay there again.

Tui2 - Albatross Suite.
A delightfully renovated upmarket villa, perched perfectly on the lush slopes of a calm bay on the peaceful side of the Peninsula. This is a perfect rest up place. The rooms are sumptuous, modern and well lit with natural and aspirational luxury tones. Oversized bed and quality linen provide for an idyllic gaze down the harbour to stunning sunsets. What the hosts provide here is personalised and charming, in Dunedin's most aspirational harbour community.

New Renovation at Adderley House -Close to Stadium
This house had everything we needed. It is modern comfortable and clean. It has a lovely kitchen with a breakfast bar which was nice to sit at. The bathroom is modern and there is constant hot water. We stayed on a cooler weekend and the central heating was great! The only downside would be the walk up to the house which may be difficult for for an elderly or disable person. The garden is currently unusable though I imagine that when it is done it will be lovely like the inside of the house. I would definitely stay again if I was visiting Dunedin.

Bella Vista Beespoke Luxury - wk/mth discount
Was beautiful view. Small but great size for my partner and I. Homely feeling to the place. Very convenient for us. Paul is always fast to reply and very contactable. We really appreciate being able to stay 5 weeks in this home. Would definitely recommend.

'Blackberry Beachhouse', Dunedin’s Otago Peninsula
We stayed at this airbnb with 4 people and there was plenty of space for all of us! While the home is situated about 30 mins by car from the center of Dunedin the drive to get there is scenic and the location is very calm and peaceful. The Royal Albatros Center and the penguin watching beach are only a 5 mins drive away. The house was super cozy and it was a pleasure to stay here. We also used the spa a couple of times which was great to relax after a long rainy day! Over all we would definitely recommend staying here especially for small groups of people!

The Little Blue Bach
We're absolutely blown away by this incredible property! The location is simply stunning - surrounded by the lovely estuary and with a beautiful beach nearby. We felt like we were in paradise, with the sound of birdsong and the smell of saltwater filling the air. The fact that it's pet-friendly was the icing on the cake. We were thrilled to be able to bring our fur babies along and explore the beautiful surroundings together. Thank you so much for sharing this little slice of heaven with us. We can't wait to come back and do it all again!

Luxury room in historic house
We enjoyed a lovely two night stay in a gorgeous room overlooking the harbour. Loved the large modern bathroom and what a comfortable bed! Enjoyed being outside the city centre but still in close proximity. Susan and her husband were very hospitable and accommodating hosts - we will definitely be returning next time we’re in Dunedin. Highly recommended accommodation.
