Karl and Avril were the most hospitable hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very well appointed room. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your very positive review of your stay at
The Birches B&B.
Avril & I hope that you will have the opportunity one day to Return to experience more of what Dunedin has to offer you.
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.

Hi Lawrence
We enjoyed hosting you both, and thank you for giving us the chance to learn a little about your home State of Minnesota.
We hope that you return to The USA with fond memories of NZ, its peoples, and its unique character.
Kind regards
Avril & Karl
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.
Beautiful family home delightfully restored and modernised. Charming hosts, Karl and Avril. Great breakfast and luxurious room.

Providing a warm and welcoming experience at The Birches for our guests is always important to us.
It was so rewarding to receive your great review.
We would love to see you back in Dunedin should the opportunity arise.
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.

A wonderful experience staying in this B&B. Hospitable and strongly Victorian. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Would stay with them again.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review.
It’s rewarding for us to know that our high standards are noted and appreciated.
It would be our pleasure to welcome you back to ‘The Birches’.
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.
