Excellent base for Dunedin and Otago

We had a really lovely stay over 4 nights. John made us feel as if we were at home and with a friend. Although the room we had was not one of the ensuite rooms, we had a dedicated bathroom to ourselves, and we knew it would be like that when we chose the room and the rate. There was also a guest kitchen which was well equipped.

Comfortable stay

Located only 20-30 minutes drive from Dundedin city centre, but in countryside setting, tucked out of the way. Quiet. Clean and comfortable room with a modern clean en suite shower room. Very comfortable bed. Small fridge with freezer compartment and a microwave, in a cupboard.Kettle. Access to a guest kitchen - but we took up the continental breakfast option (cereal, juices, toast, butter, etc). Small table and a couple of chairs outside - we used one to supplement the chair in the room when it rained. Very nice host - who was available during the breakfast service and for the daily feeding of the alpacas, sheep and chicken. Good WiFi. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay and it made a good base to explore the Dunedin area.

Absolutely lovely stay. John was a fantastic host and the room was lovely. So very clean and easy enough to unload our luggage and get comfy. John was kind and welcoming and in the morning had a nice simple spread for breakfast and then we got to feed the alpacas and sheep which was unique! Definitely recommend a stay here as the property was beautiful just watch your drive in!

Hunters Moon is a total delight. Owner/host John Nelson is a gem--so welcoming and flexible. Our room was lovely and comfortable, feeding sheep and alpacas was much fun. John insisted we eat our brought in meals in his bnb dining room and use his dishes, etc. Hunters Moon is a wonderful retreat outside of Dunedin.
