Amazing old school accomodation

Nicky was super friendly and welcoming. We love outdoor aread with lots of activities to do. The set up is very welcoming for Young families with spacious rooms. Nicky let us change set up of single beds so kids could all sleep together. We would definitely recommend this accomodation.

The property is a converted school so there is plenty of room to get your gear sorted out and for kids to play and explore. The beautiful beach is just a short walk away and is a perfect place to unwind from your travels.

A great place for a family holiday.

A great place for a family holiday. Quiet but with a tennis court and animals and plenty of space for kids to run around. The drive into Dunedin was easy and took about 15 minutes. Beds were clean and very comfortable. We had a very enjoyable stay despite the weather.

Lovely beaches close by, quiet and spacious, with a homely feel, animals close by, feels beach like as well as rural, and only a short distance to the city. Somewhere to go to relax and get away from the busy life to chill out and relax.
