Big issue with induction stove. Spent an hour but the best I could do was a “low” signal. No hot plate activation. The instruction booklet had zero instructions. Online at”smeg” didn’t solve the issue.Has this stove been properly commissioned? Is it locked? Either it is non- functional or lack of instructions make it so.Otherwise, this Vrbo is outstanding.
Great location, quiet street.. Stunning gardens a home from home

Beautiful historical cottage with modern facilities
Beautiful cottage. Nicely decorated interior. Lovely garden. Well equiped kitchen.
Beautiful cottage, cozy and very well appointed with so many charming features! The property manager was so responsive and very friendly! The neighborhood, like most places in Dunedin, is very hilly, so be ready for some cardio if you plan to walk!
We especially enjoyed the lovely garden since the weather was great. And the views from Mornington park (with a ‘Coffee Grid’ or Patties icecream!). Short walk into town.
Spacious bungalow. Interior design and decor very tasteful. Very comfortable. 5 min walk to supermarket (10mins if you are a slow uphill walker). Would stay again.
Me and my teenaged son enjoyed the place, very warm and cozy and very central for Dunedin. Coffee in the morning on the verandah and listening to the bird life was lovely
We loved the house, and we loved the surrounding garden with its trees, flowers, birds, and bees. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and hiking trails. We stayed 10 nights and were never at a loss for things to do in Dunedin.
