Helensbrook Studio- On the Clutha Gold Cycle Trail

CelestineRating, 5 stars4 months ago

If you are planning to travel beyond Dunedin and looking for a place near to airport 20min drive it’s a good place. There is a 4square near to her home as well as some food shops. Internet is a bit weak but Lisa already informed us. we had a good reception on 2 degrees so we used our own internet. It’s a very insulated room so you need to leave your doors/ windows open for some time to cool it down during hot season. We loved it and would like to stay there again. You could also see a lot of rabbits and sheep around the farm. It’s such a beautiful place if you need peace from the crowd.

A view from inside the apartment showcases a deck with a serene ocean backdrop. The expansive glass doors frame a glimpse of greenery and the ocean beyond, creating a connection between indoor comfort and the natural landscape.

Waikawa House

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved this beautiful home. Pip is an excellent communicator and provided good tips before our stay, which was appreciated. Check-in was super easy. This spotless house would be perfect for a couple with two children and even two couples and two children as it has three separate bedrooms, and a large lawn for the kids to run around on. It is also close to Curio Bay and the Petrified Forest. Being a back section, it is also very quiet - a great place to unwind. Very highly recommended.
