Bygone Era is a late Victorian/Edwardian home which Angela is painstainkingly restoring. The bedrooms and common areas are packed with original features and Angela has a great collection of period furniture -- check out the phonograh in the lounge. Our room was well furnished with a lovely comfy bed and a spanking new ensuite. Although it was one of the... More

We stayed here in mid-March and were so glad we did. Angela knows what it takes to run a successful B&B and her attention to even the smallest detail did not go unnoticed by us. The house is a 1900's Victorian in a quiet area of Dunedin and is within walking distance to restaurants. The bedroom was comfortable with upscale... More

We stayed with Angela for 2 nights in March 2012. She was a very welcoming hostess and the accommodation was excellent. The breakfasts are great and the beds super-comfy. Angela runs an extremely professional B & B and we would definitely recommend it to anyone. More

On a recent 9 day holiday to New Zealand my wife and I decided to stay at B&Bs. We had many nice stays but the best by far was Bygone Era in Dunedin. Our host, Angela, could not do enough for us, even to the point of carrying our luggage to and fom our rental car!! She was helpful and... More

Loved it. Very nice bed and the en suite was well worth it. Angela was a great hostess and she makes a fantastic French toast - all the breakfasts were very good! Lots of extra special touches made for a very nice stay, we would really recommend this place to stay. The location is a bit out of downtown but... More

We arrived on a damp day and received a very warm welocme with afternoon tea served in Angela's prized silver teapot. 'Bygone Era' lived up to its reputation - very clean, very comfortable beds with the quality of linens and towels we have at home. Angela is hardworking, friendly and extremely hospitable. She offers advice when asked and is not... More

We were so pleased we chose Bygone Era to stay while in Dunedin & so glad we stayed for 3 nights. We enjoyed the beautiful decor, very comfortable bed, the delicious breakfasts & the wonderful company of Angela who is a fantastic host. It was wonderful to be looked after so well. I particularly looked forward to the lovely afternoon... More

I had the pleasure of staying with angela in February, in the lovely red room with the separate bathroom. There were many things about bygone era that I thought were exceptional. The house itself was lovely and beautifully restored. I really enjoyed the location, close to the city but not right in it, in an older established garden suburb. The... More

We spent ages searching for somewhere to stay in Dunedin, and after finding the Bygone Era, our only disappointment was that we only stayed for one night! Angela is a fantastic host - nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are amazing (we arrived early early so were able to have a peak at the other two rooms!). After traveling... More
