Great flat, great area, great property managers. Got so lucky with this one. Really decent rate for it too although I know they increased the rent for the new tenants.

Lovely home in a gorgeous neighbourhood. Super convenient access to both motorways, public transport and supermarkets. Very warm. When I moved in the house was in excellent condition however, despite the landlords best intentions, it has accumulated damage/issues and had several pest problems that went unaddressed (we paid for out of our own pocket). The landlords have too many properties to keep up with (including the house next door) hence the delay in maintenance (e.g. a lot of broken window handles). In saying that, they are a lot more reasonable than other landlords I've had and do bring a Christmas gift each year which is nice.

Named flat - S***yland. Don't know why it is censoring that it's not a bad word. Student flat but pretty good for what it is. Landlord is nice and friendly, helpful, does all the repairs himself. All the rooms are decent as are facilities. End of the day it's a Dunedin flat

Literally the loudest flat in Dunedin. Roadworks consistently going on all night every night - impossible to sleep and the windows in most rooms didn't close. Right by the bus hub also so super dangerous and overpriced. The property manager is also horrible to deal with and refuses to fix anything.

Mouldy, damp, and old (1910 build). Vent system doesn't work. Landlord reluctant to spend money on the place. Right next to the motorway with super dodgy neighbours. Stellar location though, such a quick commute.

Pros: Close to the City and the Shore. Good for being in uni as the price was Cheap. Cons: landlord never fixed anything. Always did it himself. We had black mold growing downstairs by the toilet and he just covered it with a plank of wood. There was windows with open gaps. The house had a leak from upstairs to the downstairs of the house and he wouldn't come over to fix until we threatened to call the tribunal. Freezing cold place, the insulation was done by him and the healthy home inspector said he could tell it was a home job but let it go anyway. This house needs to be bowled down to be honest.

Terrible property. One of the exterior walls has a mold problem, all the paint on the window sills is flaking or crazy thick to compensate. Landlord refuses to do more than most basic maintenance and has to be bullied into replacing appliances. This place is crazy damp in the winter all my clothing now smells of mildew. We were constantly running dehumidifiers to try to keep it safe. Theres no lawnmower access to the back yard because the back door in the garage got bricked up to stop flooding. To top it all off we were paying $500 but it's being put up to $600 without maintenance apart from the door bricks and a oven replacement. Horrible living standards. The neighbors are lovely though be nice to them

It's a fine house if it were properly maintained. Its 5 bed, with currently 6 of us living here so the price is fairly reasonable for the property. They have uped the price for next year though we will be moving anyway, they've listed it for $1300.. which is $260 per room. Not worth it in my opinion considering my bedroom flooded once and they've still done nothing about it. I have a dehumidifier but I can't imagine someone trying to live, in my room specifically, without one. The house has a pool which is great if you're willing to put the effort & money in. Nice kitchen and living room but the leaks bring down the value, and due to the size it is costly to heat.

Cold due to large amounts of glass. Make sure you listen for the hum of the vent system bolted to the roof of the apartment - it is quite loud at night and may drive some people crazy.

2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom. Private landlord! Super responsive and helpful, always let us know when he was coming over and was very realistic about flat inspections. Heat pump installed so always warm with reasonable power bills. Only slightly annoying thing was the shower pressure was a bit meh and we needed to bring our own fridge and washing machine but it’s flat access to the laundry and kitchen so not a big deal. Got our full bond back straight away when we moved out. Genuinely miss this house and this landlord, he was awesome.
