“I found this to be a solid, unpretentious option in Dunedin; the self-contained units offer good value, especially for families needing space. Its location, while not downtown, means easy access to key attractions, and the friendly hosts clearly aim to create a welcoming, eco-conscious stay. The older decor is less of a concern given the overall comfort and practical amenities available.”
