Would stay again: Nice stay close to the beach
Lindsey’s description I received upon booking was accurate. Lovely bach/crib. Worth noting for families there is no oven, but a camping hot plate with two elements and a mini grill type bench top oven. Handy to have the washing machine. Listen to Lindsey’s advice about the hot water, we did run out twice (two adults one child despite using it modestly). Lovely stay for a weekend within easy walking distance of nice swimming beach.

Relaxing stay
We stayed 6 days as we visited family and toured the area. Lindsey’s place was a wonder base, relaxing and beautiful; gardens and quiet home. Simple but all that was needed for a quiet and relaxing visit. Host was wonderful, very communicative and responsive. Morning coffee and evening wine on the porch with flowers, bees and nice view of the hillside. A very relaxing and refreshing venue!

Tree Cottage "Tranquility in a Bottle"
This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet, tranquil, relaxing holiday away from it all. The property is very clean and the check in process was easy. The cottage is just as it is described online. It is an old style kiwi bach with lots of charm and a lovely homely feel to it. The host communicated very well with us and replied to any questions promptly. He provided good clear directions on how to find the property. The cottage is less than 10 minutes walk from the beach and has a beautiful view inland from the front entrance. There are lots of things to do and places to explore within 30 minutes of the location. Tree Cottage is a great place to stay for either couples or a small group. I would definitely stay here again in the future. Sheila

Enjoyed our stay but a few suggestions
A bottle of milk would have been helpful or at least let people know they need some when they arrive. The shower was not the best and a bit dangerous getting in and out . Toaster burnt one side and vacuum cleaner didn’t suck very well.

Quiet 2 night stay
This was a cozy place to stay. About 20 minutes outside Dunedin in a quiet neighborhood. We had access to a wonderful beach and within easy driving distance to several places along the coast to view sea lions, albatross, and an ecosystem reserve. We stayed in late Feb - this might be a much busier place in high summer due to easy beach access.
