PROS: Good communication from owner; helpful lady. Roomy clean peaceful house in attractive area. Lovely size bedrooms; each with pretty bedcovers & oil heater. Heat pumps in hall & lounge; very cosy on cooler nights. New carpet & lino in most areas; older but just adequate kitchen. Unusual things let it down: hand-written sticker labels on light-switches & kitchen drawers (could be laminated). Basic brand shampoo, coffee, toilet rolls: mismatch for price paid. Inconsistent mix of 1900's, 1960's, 1990's furniture, architecture and kitchenware. House is part original, part repurposed (like back door alcove now a loo). Several doors creaked & need oiling. Messy paint on trims of entire house. Shrunk lounge curtains. Entry path plants need a trim.
Owners (live next door) came onto property several times on last day way before checkout time, to see if we'd left; didn't feel respectful. No instructions for Vodafone TV box. Had tourist brochures but not for Dunedin, so we left ours.
