Janet Archer
The location and cost were very good What let our stay down was the musty smell when we walked in, rubbish in the bins, then later our daughter had to clear either chest or pubic hair from the shower floor. Shame, otherwise the place was great.
Response from Owner
Sincere apologies for this. This is disappointing and the first negative review regarding cleanliness in about 140. Unfortunately our cleaner was under pressure for this clean and did not clean to an acceptable standard. However, when the guests notified us of the unemptied rubbish bin in the cupboard under the kitchen sink , we contacted our cleaner immediately, and she returned to the cottage straight away, apologised and removed the rubbish. Unfortunately we were unaware that there was also a problem with the shower so were unable to rectify this situation. Our cleaner has been reliable over the past 2 years but now finds with her other commitments, time restraints have become more of an issue . For this reason it has been a unanimous decision that it is now time for her to move on, and we will be replacing her shortly.

This charming and cosy cottage is the perfect getaway for a long weekend in Dunedin. The heat pump makes it warm and snug, the beds are comfy, and there are books EVERYWHERE! Wonderful.
