This was a great spot as a base for us to explore Dunedin and surrounds. A lovely unit, beautifully cosy and warm thanks to excellent heating, a very comfortable bed with electric blanket if required. The cottage is indeed in a lovely garden although we did find the access a little tricky. Parking is on the road and then up a ramp, then 4 maybe 5 stone garden steps without hand rails, finally steps ( with handrails) into the cottage. This was inconvenient for us as we had suitcases etc. and due to mobility issues I am not good with stairs. That said I would certainly recommend Clarissa's cottage and I would stay again, just with an overnight bag. :) Thanks for a comfortable stay indeed.
