Height of Dunedin Serviced Farm Stay is only 5 km from a supermarket, cafe and restaurants in Roslyn Village. It is a direct 10 minutes' drive to the Octagon city centre, where local tourist sites include Dunedin Railway Station. There are forest tracks nearby. Otago University is 7 km away and Forsyth Barr Stadium is 8 km away.

We loved the little touches in the cottage (decoration, little notes, fresh eggs and fruits). We felt really welcome and the cottage is very warm and confortable, in a really calm area when we can enjoy the nature. And we enjoyed feeding the goats and the chicken !

    A really lovely Dunedin style motel. We loved the Villa look of it, and the old fashioned feel. The beds were comfy, everything was well set out, and the rooms were VERY clean. The kitchen was good, and the bathroom lovely. The guy that welcomed us and gave us the key was very nice and friendly. We were glad we stayed at Owens Motel because it gave us the real 'Dunedin' feel. Great location.

    The room, vanity and kitchen were great, clean and comfy. The view was excellent. It was quiet and calm for rest and relax. The free wifi was speedy and there's a desk and good chair for work and study. Also, convenient for a Zoom meeting. Very close to Otago University and Otago PolyTech. If you're up to a conference, study or other events at these places I really recommend staying at Otago Village. It's also very close to Forsyth stadium for sports and recreation events.

    Stayed at the holiday home for 1 night. There were 5 of us but the house could easily fit 11 people based on no of beds available Place is fully equipped. Netflix was available yay! Beds have sheet heaters, a feature much appreciated by people like us coming from a tropical country and find late summer temperature still a bit too cold at night . Home also has a functioning washer & dryer, although needs to pay NZD3 to activate the dryer Check in & check out was quick & painless. Always a bonus!
