Roslyn

Welcome to Height of Dunedin. Relax in a lovely 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. 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 outdoor veranda. Be amazed by the magnificent Milky Way. Catch a shooting star and the Southern Cross wonderfully clear away from city lights. You can hand feed the pet animals on the property 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.
