The kitchen decor was a tad dated, but this house is so perfectly stocked and set up for a stay. Shower was lovely, everything provided, well stocked kitchen utensils etc. Just bring yourselves. It was cold while we visited Dunedin but the heat pumps warmed the house.

Long weekend accommodation for Uni Move In Weekend 2025

Good location and house has everything you need. Clean and tidy. On street parking only and steep path and stairs to front door which while okay for our group might not be suitable for everyone. Generally a quiet area - unfortunately the three nights we were there someone close by had very loud music blasting until the early hours which wasn't ideal.

Clean and tidy

A nice place for a few days. It was cold when were there, but the heat pumps (2) worked well. And there’s an actual fireplace in the lounge and wood. The manager lives nearby - mostly a good thing 😊. Any queries easily addressed. We’d stay again.

Pleasant stay at Maori Hill

The house is nestled in a beautiful, tranquil garden. The house itself has stunning printed high ceilings and had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. I would recommend letting guests know beforehand there's no off-street parking and the walk up to the house is on quite a steep incline making it quite difficult for people with disabilities or the aged. All taken into consideration we would love to stay there again.

Beautiful 100yr old heritage home

Beautiful, spacious, well maintained, clean and well resourced house. Bedsheets and beds were so clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all basics like all the cutlery, salt, sugar, tea, coffee, some sauces, dishwasher, fridge, oven, micro, washing machine, dryer, 2 separate toilets and a separate bathroom with hair dryer, shampoo, body wash, towels, house had provision of heaters and electric blankets. Shower had nice hot water available all the time due to gas powered. The best part is that the owner lives right in top so available for anything needed. Just that the car needs to be parked on the road and a slight 40sec walk up the ramp to the house which isn't hard but just good to know.. the flood lights or outside lights could have a censor in case of walking in the night. Helen was lovely. We stayed for 8 nights and 9 days. My son had a great time playing and watching TV in the spacious house. We would love to come back.

Family Event in Dunedin

I booked for 6 of us to stay at this home but in the end only 3 of the 6 adults were able to stay through to illness and bereavement. The home was nice and tidy with everything we needed. Having a disability, I wish on the listing that it had stated that there is a very steep path and several steps up to the house but I managed in the end, and used the back door which was easier access. It was a very quiet area and close to our venue, milk in the fridge would be helpful but we just made do as we were there for a very short time just to sleep and go. Thank you.

Great spot to rest while exploring Dunedin!

This was a lovely house and a beautiful neighborhood that made a great home base exploring Dunedin for a few days. Lots of room for us and our two kids to spread out and relax at the end of the day.
