The Albion Cottage in beautiful colourful garden

Warm, relaxing and homely are some of the descriptions used by people who stayed at Albion Cottage. Inside, it is tastefully decorated and outside it is surrounded by an array of flowering plants and a variety of birds and butterflies. You can enjoy a beautiful garden and be just a short walk (20 minutes, 3.8 km) from all central city cafes, restaurants and shops.

Five minutes walk from our cottage is a Countdown Supermarket, Bakery, Alto cafe, Tasse Cafe, Motor Garage, Medical Practice, Cable Car Terminus , Mornington Tavern and many other local shops.

Dunedin is known for its culinary experiences. Award-winning restaurants serve fresh local seafood and delicacies, quirky bars are found in intriguing alleyways, cafes filled with coffee purists and connoisseurs and an entertainment precinct that thrives on the vibrancy, brought about by being a University City.

As well as the Botanic Gardens and the spectacular coastal landscape, other attractions include the historic Dunedin Railway Station, and reputedly the world’s steepest street, Baldwin Street, which runs an annual downhill race.

The world famous Taieri Gorge historic rail journey shouldn't be missed.

The city centre hosts a modern public art gallery housing one of New Zealand’s best international art collections, Theatres, Museums and Libraries which rank among the country’s finest.

This is a great place to visit while traveling, holidaying, or for a relaxing get-away. Our cottage is also ideal for business trips or job relocations.

Relaxing
Me and my teenaged son enjoyed the place, very warm and cozy and very central for Dunedin. Coffee in the morning on the verandah and listening to the bird life was lovely

Lovely garden retreat
We loved the house, and we loved the surrounding garden with its trees, flowers, birds, and bees. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and hiking trails. We stayed 10 nights and were never at a loss for things to do in Dunedin.

Loved Our Time at Albion
The cottage and garden were great. Steep walk to market and nearby eateries, but that seemed true for all of Dunedin. We walked to ( downhill) and from (the opposite) downtown several times. Living room small and furniture a bit worn, but it's all about being out and about doing things, so not a problem. Bedrooms very comfy, shower water pressure excellent and kitchen well equipped.

Cozy and Convenient
Cute setting, close to grocery and pharmacy. Quiet neighborhood. Only issue was the quality and comfort of the sitting area couch and chairs. These pieces of furniture should be upgraded for a better guest experience. Overall, a good stay.

Lovely garden
A characterful, old-school cottage with a lovely garden, acted as a good base for our explorations in Dunedin. The location up in Mornington is a wee way from the CBD, but not too bad, and close to supermarket plus other shops. The interior is quite dark, so probably best for summer months. Some of the facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, are quite dated now and could do with a spruce-up. The instructions around accessing the property and the cabana are a bit minimal, and could do with being a bit clearer.
