Great host, superb location.
Location is fantastic.
There was absolutely nothing not to dislike. But the door handle fell off in which we fixed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - very comfortable apartment, great views and options for eating out.
The property is right on the Esplanade with immediate access to the promenade and beach. Great views up and down the coast and also great views from the rooftop area which had seats and tables to enjoy. Excellent location for restaurants and bars and some nice shops close by too.
Nothing regarding the apartment but when the area is busy it can sometimes be harder to find a park close by. Having said that we always found a park in the same block as the building so only a short walk away from the apartment.

The apartment was lovely, the location was great, and we were genuinely very happy with our stay!
We had a fantastic stay at this private apartment in St Clair. The views were absolutely amazing, and the location was perfect for enjoying everything St Clair Beach and Dunedin have to offer. Our host was lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches, including good-quality milk provided on arrival and organic products throughout the apartment. It was clear that a lot of care had gone into making the stay comfortable. The apartment was lovely, the location was great, and we were genuinely very happy with our stay. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!
