This B&B is located close to the city centre. Its a easy walk down the hill, but being Dunedin, a stiff walk back up the hill! , we had the room at the front with a good view especially at night over the city, the room was excellent, very comportable double bed, excellent shower and bathroom adjacent to the bedroom...

We had the self-contained room which had a big bedroom space, ensuite bathroom, kitchen and dining table area, which was ideal for our 4 night stay over the New Year period. We could easily eat in, or get into Dunedin city centre for restaurants. Rooms were comfortable (maybe a tad old fashioned) but were fine and good value for money.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed with Steven and Fiennie for 3 nights in early Jan. We were only planning on staying for 2 nights, however we liked it so much we stayed another night. Lovely house with an amazing view from our bedroom of the city, a home away from home. Very central with only a walk down the street... More

I really enjoyed our time at Highbrae Guesthouse. The room was very nice. The breakfast was really nice- nice breakfast room, nice ambiance, tea and food. An example of the hosts' kindness-my friend sprained her ankle and our hosts drove us to the attraction we were planning to visit. They had a lot of information about Dunedin and were fun... More

Stayed at Steven & Fiennies Guest House twice. I must say Steven could not be more friendly or helpful during both our visits.Rooms are spotless. Breakfast is great ( super home made bread). Highly recommended. The Milne Family

We had a delightful stay at Highbrae, which is on the top of a hill with good views of the city and harbour. The service was prompt, warm and attentive (without being intrusive), the food was ample and to our taste. Our room was spacious,tastefully decorated, and the bed was luxurious. Car parking was not a problem, as kerbside parking... More

Very nice B&B, great attention to detail and guest needs, even made a special breakfast for our toddler, which was very much appreciated. Stephen has excellent local knowledge and contacts, which he was happy to share with us, and we found invaluable, and even gave us a lift to a local car rental company, after arranging the booking for us.

The Highbrae Guesthouse looked fantastic on paper, and in reality far surpassed our expectations. Sitting on top of High Street with a fantastic view of the harbor, the location is pretty incredible. It is a bit of a walk up the hill from the town, but then again that describes most of Dunedin. We had the queen room in the... More

This is an excellent place for an overnight stop or even longer. The hosts are charming the house is warm and comfortable, and the views are spectacular from the bedroom windows. They found us an excellent cafe for lunch and recommended a super sightseeing trip. Very good value
