Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa F., Center Harbor NH 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved Our Time at Albion The cottage and garden were great. Steep walk to market and nearby eateries, but that seemed true for all of Dunedin. We walked to ( downhill) and from (the opposite) downtown several times. Living room small and furniture a bit worn, but it's all about being out and about doing things, so not a problem. Bedrooms very comfy, shower water pressure excellent and kitchen well equipped. ##### Lisa F. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen L. 4 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous property! The property here is beautiful. The owner warned us that it may be chilly in the midst of winter, but it was completely fine once we had the heater going for a little bit and there are heaters everywhere you'd want them (including in the bathroom which is rare in New Zealand). Do note: If you are not able bodied, you will want to either rent a car or plan to uber as the hill you need to walk up to get to grocery, restaurants, and walk to downtown Dunedin is very steep. ##### Kathleen L.
