Situated on a 6-acre lifestyle property, Height of Dunedin Serviced Farm Stay offers a semi-serviced, 1-bedroom guesthouse. The sunny, detached cabin boasts farmlet views and is nestled below mature pine trees, with a well-appointed verandah and patio garden.

It was amazing. I wasn’t in such a nice place for a years. Location was ideal, on the edge of the town, so absolutely quiet, but still close enough to the town center. Cottage was lovely, nice and clean. And the host was really thoughtful. She left a sign with greetings in our native language. Which was very heartwarming. Also she left for us bottle of milk and package of home eggs. Thank you so much, if we’ll stop by in Dunedin again definitely we’ll come here.

Situated on the top level of the iconic building, 'The Hydro', this property is set directly opposite Dunedin's popular St Clair Beach. Each of the Hydro Esplanade Apartments boasts free WiFi, ocean views and access to the rooftop terrace and balcony.

The Hydro Esplande apartments are beautifully located right on the ocean. Besides the opportunity to sit by the sea there is a rooftop sitting area. There is a well equipped kitchen (unfortunately there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer). The shower has excellent water pressure and has plenty of towels. I loved the towel warmer. The tv works well. Unfortunately the Blu-ray player was not connected and there were no wires for me to do so. Buying one in town was ridiculously high. The dining area and the bedroom have great views. The bed is very comfortable. They have a nice information sheet and have brochures about various attractions in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed Dunedin and this apartment.

    It was beyond my expectation. The place was clean and came with all the facilities that we need as a family. I love the nibbles in the pantry. My daughter enjoyed it. They also provided a comfortable cot for my baby..the host was very responsive and the location was a short distance to everything we want to go in dunedin. Highly recommended and will book with them again!

    A special place to get away, tucked away amongst ferns. Great for a couple or small family. The beds were super comfy and the loft is such a fun space for children.The deck is a perfect spot to unwind and look out to the water.
