1 Bedroom Bed & Breakfast in Dunedin

Escape, Relax and Explore. Welcome to my quaint and quirky rustic macrocarpa cottage set in native bush setting. An abundance of wildlife and fantastic scenery on your doorstep. The dawn chorus of birds is absolute joy to wake up to.
Beautiful private detached bedroom with private courtyard. Lounge, kitchenete and bathroom with private access.
My home is 16km, about a 20 minute drive from Dunedin city, along the scenic winding Portobello Road.
Your bedroom is in a detached room, adjacent to your private covered patio. Its about 6 steps from the covered patio. The lounge, kitchenette and bathroom are part of my house but sectioned off and very private. I am discreet.
If you are feeling like a soak after a day of exploring there is an outside bath to be enjoyed, there is nothing better on a starlit night. After your soak sleep peacefully in the comfortable queen sized bed.
Above the lounge up a ladder is a cozy little second sleeping area perfect for one person.
Continental breakfast is a basic continental, consisting of an assortment of NZ made cereals, bread, yoghurt, jams , orange juice, tea and coffee. Alternative dietary requirements must be the responsibility of the guests.
There is a basic kitchenette with a jug, toaster, a bar fridge and microwave, a 2 element hot plate and a small oven/grill/airfryer if you choose to cook.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no kitchen sink inside. There is a sink outside under cover which is easy to use, using the outdoor hose. It's basic but it works, hot and cold taps are provided outside.
The loft and kitcthenette and dining room are all in the one room.
Please note my home backs onto native bush, so spider webs are a natural common occurrence. I do not spray my house, but do try to keep them under control as much as possible, so please keep this in mind. There will always be the odd one about, that's nature.
I can provide transport to and from the airport and into the city if required, petrol fees apply.
There are many local attractions such as Larnach Castle, The Royal Albatross Colony, Penguin Place, Yellow Eyed Penguins, Little Blue Penguins, sea lions, beautiful beaches, stunning views and bush walks.
You will have your own access and your own key to come and go as you please.
Check in time can be negotiable.
I have a driveway, so there is space to park your car.
I live onsite with my friendly cats Bacon and Purrgeot.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not like cats or allergic this isn't the place for you.
I have a floral studio and mico flower farm called The Good Seed which I operate from the premises. I live onsite aswell.
I offer unobtrusive hospitality and am respectful of people's privacy and will leave you to unwind. I am available anytime to answer any questions and am happy to assist in making you stay as comfortable as possible.
Larnach Castle can be accessed by walking from my home. It is a steep climb but very beautiful walk, can take about 45mins to an hour. You can drive via Castlewood road taking 12 minutes, (7.8km).
Walk out my drive and turn left and you can access Bacon track walking 5 mins down the road.
The Royal Albatross Colony is 19 min (14.2km) drive from my home. There you can explore and view the Albatross and Little Blue Penguin (Korora).
Penguin Place is 11.9km, where you can go on tours to view the Yellow Eyed Penguin.
Allans Beach is a 15min (8.7km) drive via Allans Beach Road. This is a magnificent scenic beach to see seals and wildlife.
Sandfly Bay (no sandflies) 15min drive, huge sand dunes, and wildlife spotting.
Sandymount walkway, spectacular views of Otago Peninsula coastline and cliff tops.
Wickliffe Beach (Victory beach), The Pyramids walkway, 17min drive, great walking, exploring and wildlife spotting. To name just a few.

Summary: It is a nice quaint place with a lovely setting. We were very close to the blue penguins and albatross centre. Amazing. The morning was great having coffee on the deck nestled in a treed area with plenty of birds chirping.

Summary: The property had it's appeal, arty, cute and organic. Garden was wild and attractive. Walk from car to entrance door a little unappealing. Aspect to sun was good. It was quiet and simple. A little cramped, bed was not so comfortable, and lack of basin in kitchenette not ideal. Bath was nice, would benefit a better system of filling bath by installing a hose end that turned off fully. Liked the location and reasonably close to Dunedin central. Overall it has attractive features for us, just a little too small. Host was friendly and discreet. kitchenette quite
