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.

Tui2 - Albatross Suite.

JonathanRating, 5 stars17 months ago
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.
The kitchen area features a large wooden counter with four simple stools, surrounded by white cabinetry and modern appliances. Pendant lights hang above, brightening the space. The open layout connects to a hallway leading to other areas of the villa.

New Renovation at Adderley House -Close to Stadium

JulieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.
A wooden deck area features a simple chair positioned beside potted plants. The entrance to the house is visible, with large windows allowing natural light to enter. Surrounding greenery can be seen in the background, creating an inviting outdoor space.

Tui2 - Kereru Suite

BrookeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was my second time staying at Paul’s place, and it was just as magic as the first time. I actually made an error and booked for the wrong week, but Paul was really helpful and accommodating. The balcony with the bay view was magnificent. Highly recommend! Thanks team!

'Blackberry Beachhouse', Dunedin’s Otago Peninsula

PhilineRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!
A historic red house is positioned by the water's edge, surrounded by a well-maintained lawn. Scenic hills are visible in the background, contrasting with the clear blue sky. A gravel path leads to the entry, and outdoor seating is arranged nearby.

Luxury room in historic house

KimberleyRating, 5 stars14 months ago
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.
