- "We enjoyed our stay. We arrived on one of Dunedin's coldest days, but once we got the fire and heat pump going everything warmed up. There were heaps of blankets for the beds and cosy flannel sheets. The kitchen is a good size and really well equipped. The owner was good to deal with." - "Charming cottage - clean and well appointed. A little bit chilly and blinds were a bit of struggle for my fat thumbs, but given the heart of winter and with a heat pump all perfectly reasonable. Would certainly consider for future trips."

- "The property here is beautiful. The owner warned us that it may be chilly in the midst of winter, but it was completely fine once we had the heater going for a little bit and there are heaters everywhere you'd want them (including in the bathroom which is rare in New Zealand). Do note: If you are not able bodied, you will want to either rent a car or plan to uber as the hill you need to walk up to get to grocery, restaurants, and walk to downtown Dunedin is very steep."

Relax in a peaceful and private cabin surrounded by gardens. Watch the sun set over Round Hill, then wake up to birdsong from the kowhai tree in front of your private balcony. All this, just an 8 minute drive from town.

The cabin has all the amenities you need, except for cooking! It has a bar fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave. Stay 3 nights or longer and we'll bake you some crusty, fresh bread.

The space
The cabin includes a very comfortable queen-sized bed, 2 seater couch, TV, ensuite bathroom and limited cooking facilities (toaster, fridge, microwave and kettle). The cabin is not attached to the main house on the property.

The driveway is very steep. Once you are up the driveway, there are 11 concrete steps and later 10 wooden steps to the cabin. The lovely views, however, make the climb worth it.

If you arrive by cycle or motorbike, we can find a place to park your bike in the shed.

Guest access
The cabin has its own access so guests can come and go as they choose. There is generally plenty of parking on the street.

Early check-in is often possible - just ask us if that's something you need.

We prefer it if people park on the street rather than up the driveway (once they have unloaded their gear). However, if you need to park up the driveway, just let us know.

Other things to note
We (Rachel and Brett) live in the main house on the property, with our three children. Rachel's parents, Roger and Judy, live next door and act as co-hosts.

The cabin feels very secluded and we are happy to let you enjoy your privacy. Just call us, or send us a message, if there's anything you need.

If you decide not to drive up the driveway, or get dropped off, and need a hand to get your bag up the drive please message us to see if we are available to come and help.

With a well fitted-out kitchen, a composting toilet (don't worry, its nice) and a wood-fired hot tub in the garden, this wee house is private, sunny and super-popular with native birds. Down at the waters edge you'll find the Birds' Nest boatshed. Get back to basics and rediscover what having a break from it all really means.

Walk to the old pa site, climb Mt. Mopanui, collect cockles at low tide. Happy as.

Guest access
You'll have the whole bach, you lucky creatures.

Other things to note
Water supply is rainwater so conserving water is key out here. Limit showers to a couple of minutes and only use hot tub if tanks are full. The composting toilet is separate to the house so you might need to dash out in the rain.

The path up to the house is steep, and difficult for the unfit. There is no parking on the property. You need to park at the road and carry your stuff up to the house.

Do not cross the paddock behind the house, this annoys the farmer.

Some of the light switches are pull switches, so bear this in mind if you arrive in the dark. The toilet is the latest in composting toilets and not smelly. Please don't wear shoes inside the house and leave the bach as tidy as you found it.
