Sarah's valley cottage was great. It's close enough to town for driving or even walking if you don't mind the hill but I had the feeling of being in the lush forest with huge beautiful trees swaying in the wind, starry nights, and peaceful quiet. The cottage is warm with the heat pump and even has heaters in the bedrooms. The kitchen had all that I needed for cooking meals and the HDMI cable was appreciated for playing TV or movies off the WiFi (which was fast and stable). The family is friendly and environmentally conscious. This is a great space for a small family or group staying in Dunedin.
