42 The Bach - couples retreat

Winston PeterRating, 5 stars3 months 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.

Modern rural retreat, 20 mins drive to Dunedin CBD

ArielRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a fantastic stay. The house was super tidy and clean, and it truly felt like staying in our own home. The host provided everything we needed, including milk, tea, and all the essential accessories. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware. The decoration is cozy and artistic, and all the bedding and sleepwear were of high standard and very comfortable. The house is located on a farm, but the environment is very clean and peaceful. Every morning, I could smell the fresh scent of wood while standing in the garden. It was quiet and relaxing, far enough from the road to feel completely at ease. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and refreshing getaway. Thank you Frances. You are such a gracious host, always responsive and incredibly polite. You made our stay so much easier by providing thoughtful support and many conveniences.

Hilltop guest room: Escape the city!

AmandaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I can’t recommend this place enough. A cosy little hideaway with beautiful views right atop the peninsula it’s a great base to visit the city and appreciate nature. It has everything you’d need and feels so homely. We really enjoyed doing the Triple Combo experience to see the albatross, boat trip in the bay, and see the penguins with OPERA. We also had a wonderful day exploring Dunedin seeking out the street art. Angus is the perfect host. I can’t express this enough. Utterly helpful in every way with useful tips and insights about the area that he very generously shared with us. Thank you, Angus, we have really enjoyed resting up in this wonderful bolt hole and chatting with you. It will remain a highlight of our travels.

Long Beach Seaside Retreat

EdRating, 5 stars4 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.

This is such an awesome spot. It feels very secluded but is very easy to get to and is close to lots of other awesome spots. Waking up to the view and birdsongs is such a treat. Definitely recommended and you have to give the outdoor bath a go - well worth the effort!
