Come relax in this cozy and quiet home just a short walk from St Clair, Dunedin’s iconic surf beach. The house is warm, sunny and peaceful — perfect for unwinding. Guests love waking up with the sunrise in the backyard and winding down with sunset views or a fire in the evening. You’ll have your own comfy room, a king-sized bed, and access to a fully equipped kitchen and shared spaces. I provide yoga mats and beach towels if you’d like to create your own little retreat. I'm always nearby and happy to help with tips, a chat, or just to make sure you feel right at home. Check-in and check-out are flexible with advance notice.
Hi, I'm Claudia! I love hosting and connecting with people from all over the world. I've traveled extensively to places like the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia — and I've always been warmly welcomed, so I know how important it is to have a good experience while traveling. Respect comes above all else for me. I enjoy nature, hiking, healthy living and meaningful conversations. I'm friendly and outgoing, but I also value people's privacy and personal space. I work as a therapist and counsellor, so creating a calm and supportive environment is something I truly care about. Whether you're visiting Dunedin to explore or to simply rest and recharge, I’ll do my best to make your stay comfortable and memorable.
Guests love how peaceful and safe the neighborhood is, while still being close to everything you might need. Just 200 meters from the house you'll find a bus stop, coffee shop, bakery, pharmacy and gas station — all within a short walk. The St Clair surf beach, local supermarket, library, bank, and public swimming pool are about 1.5 km away. The vibrant city centre (The Octagon) is only 3.5 km from the house, and the University of Otago is 4.6 km away. Whether you're into nature, culture, or just relaxing by the ocean, the area has something for everyone. St Clair has great cafés, restaurants, and stunning coastal walks, perfect for a laid-back Dunedin experience.
