Welcome to Height of Dunedin. Relax in a newly renovated and double-glazed 1-bedroom cottage in the misty clouds and experience a NZ semi-rural style living. A sunny, clean and tidy, 44 square metre, 2-room detached guesthouse sits behind our house in the heart of a unique 6-acre property. You are nestled below awesome pine trees with a well-appointed courtyard garden.

Our express, local flavours breakfast is complimentary and includes Harraways flavoured quick oats with your choice of milk, muesli bar, free-range eggs from our hens, fresh seasonal fruit and toast with Otago honey or homemade jam or marmalade.
Or if you'd prefer to upgrade our pancake kit is available for pre-order for $35 including pancake mix, homemade jam, fruit, white choc drops, Barker’s butterscotch caramel sauce, maple syrup, yoghurt and a waffle iron.

Height of Dunedin is a peaceful, tranquil hideaway slightly out of the city. We are a 5km drive to a supermarket, cafes and restaurants. It is a direct 10 minutes’ drive to the Octagon and local sites. Recharge with a wine under the private outdoor veranda. Be amazed by the magnificent Milky Way. Catch a shooting star and the Southern Cross wonderfully clear away from city lights.

Would you like to book a farm tour with our sons Leo and Toby (10,7) who will show you around with an opportunity to ask questions, feed, pet and have close encounters with goats, deer and chickens? $10 cash.
If time doesn't permit you can hand feed the pet animals in a self-guided tour and awaken to the morning chorus of local birdlife. Bird watch for these species that are either resident or fly in seasonally: tuis, bellbirds, rosella parrots, wood pigeons, magpies, paradise ducks, hawks, owls and pet hens.

All this at 350 metres above sea level guarantees some snow falls during winter and beautiful, picturesque surroundings.
