Amazing view but a few concerns.
Hi, this is the best view we've ever had, and there is ALWAYS something happening in the water, whether it's dragon boating, kayaking, swimming or SUPing. And the bed was comfortable. BUT the driveway is incredibly steep (you park at that angle too) and the toilet needs to be replaced. Would recommend, but with some reservations.

Location was awesome! Great to have snacks and coffee. The washer/dryer combo was also a great feature. The drive is incredibly steep so we parked across the street

Tiny but perfect for two very enjoyable nights. The bed was so comfortable with wonderful bed linen. The view is spectacular and to top of it all off a Nespresso machine so we could sit and enjoy that view sipping fresh coffee.

Beware the driveway
This is a small, clean studio with a lovely view.. no surprises there. The view is presumably the reason fir the price. Nothing else is particularly special. The driveway is steep and the parking is just adequate. We hike, sail, ski and are no strangers to tricky driving but the driveway at this property would present a challenge to many drivers and would be unusable in icy conditions. We used a chock to be sure the car stayed put at top of driveway. We had to chase access details and then the # was left off the entry pin provided which left us unable to gain entry until the neighbours turned up. Process needs a bit of polishing.

Lovely short stay
Pros.. Very quiet when we were there. Lovely views, no need to get out of bed ! Close to town, 4min drive. Lovely walk / bike around the waters edge for 15 k Cons. No drawers to put anything in No wardrobes Live out of your suitcase. Toilet was in with where you store kitchen pots and wash up. No extractor fan in that area.small opening window. Very little / no work surface to prep food. So nice place, we did manage to cook, but difficult.

The space had lovely views and was in a good location. The driveway was very steep and difficult to drive up. The room was nicely decorated however the kitchen area was cramped. Satisfactory for a couple of nights.

Best Staycation Experience!
Outstanding view, even the wet windy weather of Dunedin could not put a damper on this experience. I was forewarned about the steep slope but after living in hilly Dunedin for a couple years, it's fairly straightforward – it helps that the slope is also tarred and smooth. Efficient food delivery around town made up for the lack of kitchen in the unit. Harbour Studio is really perfect as a short getaway from the city within the city. ❤️

Great view of Dunedin City across harbour
We couldn't fault the view, often stunning at sunset. The position is unique in that we see weather on the horizon coming & going. Proximately to city & amenities, such as Andersons Bay, was super easy. In the Summer this property would be ideal for dips in the sea. Bike/walking track at the bottom of the driveway. We enjoyed a couple of walks. We felt apartment was slightly cluttered around the "kitchenette", I wouldn't want to attempt cooking a meal. Thankfully we only made coffee & ate a light breakfast. Parking wasn't too bad. For security sake - park up the driveway. Disappointing was having a visitor of other apartment take the designated parking space, leaving us no option to block another car in. Party upstairs on Saturday night made sleep difficult and we left bleary eyed the next morning.

I was warned about the driveway so no worries but the appt was a bit slim, I kept bumping into the round pillar. The picture is a touch misleading on that. Very well equipped.

The unit has an outstanding view. You will absolutely need a car as there are no facilities within walking distance. The driveway is not for the feinthearted - very steep! The auto lock was easy for property entry but locking up was a big challenge.

Superb room with a view
A well-provisioned, comfortable, relaxing studio under a quiet residential home, overlooking the harbour towards the city. Excellent location -short drive to/from city and easy access to exploring the Peninsula. Best suited for a 1-3 night stay as has very basic cooking facilities (fine for us as we ate out) but you'd not cook anything too fancy as space is limited. Only small "gripe" was the boy racer traffic that disrupted the tranquility of the area during Fri and Sat nights on the road below - but it didn't go on for long. Access is only via a steep staircase so would not be suitable for anyone with a disability or too much luggage. It would've been great to have had somewhere to hang a few items up. Overall, a great stay and would recommend for a weekend away.
