A recently renovated holiday home located in Dunedin, Lavender Box features a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.9 km from Otago Museum.

The apartment is spacious and well appointed. It has some wonderful artworks and quirky touches in some of the pieces of furniture. An eclectic mix of genres that work well together and make this beautiful apartment a delight to stay in, with all the mod cons you would expect. It's on the main road, but the property was very quiet. The location was excellent for the bus into the centre of Dunedin as the stops both directions were virtually outside the apartment, and at $3 a trip, excellent value.
