    This was a perfect place to rejuvinate!

    Loved the location, with a peaceful outlook over the lagoon and plenty of bird life in view. The cabin bedroom was very cosy and the kitchen and bathroom had everything I needed. A great place for a quiet getaway.

    It was exactly what my wife and I wanted and needed. We are both in our mid seventies.

    The location is right next to a beautiful lagoon. You are isolated in a residential area except for the owners home. It is similar to luxury camping. Great for birders and stargazers. You are at one with nature. Must have a car as it is 30 minutes from Dunedin. Also, bring your own provisions.

    They included a breakfast which was not necessary as a great bakery is located within a couple of blocks

    At first I was worried about stepping outside during the night. I thought it would be cold and inconvenient. But the night sky was absolutely beautiful. A great location
