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!

Thanks for choosing The Birches B&B and for being so engaging. It was really nice to be invited into your broad view of life in the USA. Also, to share with you anecdotes that we found in common even though living half a world apart.

Charming bed and breakfast
An old home outside the center of Dunedin was meticulously renovated and improved and was a very comfortable place to stay. Everything was in perfect order. The owners were delightful, very hospitable and helpful.

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.
