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.

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.

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.
