A recently renovated holiday home located in Dunedin, Lavender Box features a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.9 km from Otago Museum.

The apartment is spacious and well appointed. It has some wonderful artworks and quirky touches in some of the pieces of furniture. An eclectic mix of genres that work well together and make this beautiful apartment a delight to stay in, with all the mod cons you would expect. It's on the main road, but the property was very quiet. The location was excellent for the bus into the centre of Dunedin as the stops both directions were virtually outside the apartment, and at $3 a trip, excellent value.

    Hard to describe how beautiful, serene and special this place is. The location is close to loads of great birdlife and wildlife watching, tucked away in the countryside. The hosts were very helpful and kind, loving next door. The facilities were cosy, including a barnhouse bedroom and fireplace. Breakfast supplies were great.
