The Birches is a B&B gem
Wonderful spot in Dunedin. The spacious, sunny suites are a great luxury. Super hosts to help you plan your visit. We watched the World’s Fastest Indian one night which was locationally appropriate. Such a fun visit.

Made new friends in Dunedin!
We are not usually B & B kind of people, but Karl and Avril was just so awesome! We probably made pests out of ourselves. We just hung out and visited with them because the place was so cool!

VERY NICE B&B IN DUNEDIN
Sadly, we had one very short night at this beautiful B&B. Our hosts were gracious and went above and beyond to make our very short stay relaxing and comfortable. I highly recommend this place.
