It's a beautiful and cozy place with its characters, looks just like in the photos. My son was very happy going around and finding things in the bookshelf: the children's books to read and the board games to play.
During our stay (it wasn't very warm at the time in Dunedin), the living room was a bit cold in the morning and at night, but it was fine with heat pump on.
The street was pretty quiet at night, no problem to sleep.
Dunedin's roads are mostly steep, so you need a car to go to city center even it is close to center in the map.
