Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Characterful train cottage Amazing characterful warm and clean cottage. Plenty of firewood available and other heating options and plenty of towels. Could do with a few more cooking utensils but heaps of coffee and tea options as well as hot choc and an otherwise well stocked kitchen. Would definitely recommend a stay. ##### Nancy R.

Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Such a great wee get away spot not too far from Dunedin city. 2min walk to the beach and it is beautiful even on a miserable day. Has everything you could need for a week away with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Fire heats the whole house but there are also lots of other heating options. Friendly hosts and the property was clean and tidy and well looked after. Looking forward to our next trip already! ##### Keryn M. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeanenne M. Jul 5, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quirky Great potential, just needs a few tweaks to make it more comfortable! This seems to be a newish listing so just need to get familiar with what guests want/need.Ran out of firewood and there was a lack of blankets but the owner was extremely obliging and rectified! ##### Jeanenne M.
