We had a lovely 4 night stay here. Emma looked after us very well with her lovely breakfasts everyday. The walk up the paddock was well worth it for the spectacular views. It was a very peaceful and enjoyable cottage to stay and relax.

We loved staying here. It is about a fifteen minute drive outside of Dunedin. It is a lovely cottage, Emma has thought of everything to make a stay more enjoyable. The breakfasts were a great way to start the day off. There were nice views out of each window, the sheep were fun to watch. A nice walk up the... More

I just wished we'd booked for more than 3 days! We were traveling with our 4 year old son and absolutely loved the place. The views are stunning out of every window, and the walk over the paddock to the ocean is breathtaking. It is an excellent place to stay if you're visiting Dunedin. It's only 15/20 minutes out of...

We had an amazing stay at Blackhead Cottage - we were there during the spring and had an amazingly chilled out time. We loved the sheep next to the cottage, and the wide open spaces. We self-catered and the facilities were great. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly and we are looking forward to going back there again. Highly... More

We went there in July, it was freezing. The cottage does not have double glazing and the front sliding door is half glass, half aluminium or some sort of steel which acts like a fridge. The heatpump (air-conditioner that blows hot air) just could not cope. The cottage was spacious and well located. The sofa bed in the lounge cannot... More

Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry you found it cold - we have not had this complaint previously from other guests, and were not aware of it at the time of your stay. We've taken your comments on board - there is now an extra heater in the cottage, and we are upgrading the insulation. The cliffs are perfectly safe... More

A very nice experience!! We loved eating dinner on the porch and watching the sheep next to the cottage. Step out the back door and enjoy a fantastic walk to cliffs over the sea. There is a two burner hot plate, frig and micro so cooking is no worry. We hope to return someday.
