Enjoyed listening to Moreporks and the lap of the ocean at night. Charming property.

A fantastic place to stay and take time out to relax. Thank you so much

Beautiful wee cottage right on the water. Very relaxing watching the tide and listening to the birds.

A unique and tranquil place to stay right by the water. We loved spending a couple of nights here while we explored the surrounding area. Well equipped and warm. Highly recommended.

As you like it was perfect for our 2 nights in Dunedin. It was so nice and quiet being on the water and the cottage was set up perfectly. The separate buildings set up was really quaint, and made it feel like it might have felt years ago to holiday there. The views were beautiful. It rained for a lot of our stay which made the cottage feel really warm and comfy.

Wonderful, memorising spot to watch the tides changing, and enjoy birdlife. Thankyou for preserving such a special part of NZ history. We loved it

The cottage was very cosy, clean and it had everything we needed. I reccomend it to all. The onely thing that could be better is the communication via the app of Expedia or VRBO. It didn't work.

Perfect place to recharge the batteries.

An absolutely beautiful heritage home, directly on the water. Very quaint and peaceful. Can’t wait to visit again but next time for longer.

Have had a wonderful 3 days. The cottage is full of character and has everything you need in a fabulous location. Highly recommend.

It’s. Lovely wee place to stay and has everything you could need. Very clean and tidy. The coal fire place does smell bit. Would recommend some oil infusion sticks.

We loved our time at the historic cottage, was so peaceful and quiet and just next to the water. Will definitely come back again. Thank you Barbara for the stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is amazing. We did find the residual coal scent a bit strong. Overall we loved our stay. Thanks

Ann especially magic place right by a deep-water part of a lovely little estuary. Fish, birds and seals! A beautifully restored cottage!!

Not sure what to add to the praises heaped upon this gorgeous and unique place, just that we loved it and would return in a heartbeat. It's a whimsical and exquisite piece of local history, and no matter what the weather threw at us (hot and sunny, wild and woolly), it was an absolute pleasure to be there. Watching the tides and the birds, reading books, going for walks along the inlet and beach, lounging in the sun, feeling cosy inside with movies on a chilly day - it was all good, we parked the car and didn't touch it again until we left a few days later. A sweet jumble of buildings, full of character and certainly with some quirks, but that's to be expected. Pretty much everything you need for a holiday is there. It's impossible to measure the joy of staying somewhere like this and we can't thank Barbara enough for the time that we had there.

Absolutely fantastic place to get away! Recommend to any and all. Everything about the property is on point, if you couldnt relax here you wouldnt be able to relax anywhere! Great location and piece of history thats been cared for. Will be back

Absolutely stunning. Was our second time and we will defintely come back.

We were blessed with good weather and the most wonderful stay at As You Like It. The crib is absolutely

It was so peaceful looking out the window to see ducks glide past like being in a boat

We had a lovely few days watching the tides ebb and flow, collecting kai moana and kayaking. The inside of the cottage is lovely, and has everthing you need (although I would have love to have has some binoculars with me) and the greatest enjoyment came from sitting outside watching the day go by.

We always love returning to As Ye Like It. Jumped in the bay for a swim at full tide each morning when we woke. It’s just gorgeous here. I prepared for my wedding here, our ceremony was held at the mouth in wild wind. And reception and dinner at Long Beach Hall. As Ye Like It was a peaceful and serene location to start the day. We enjoyed using the kayaks too. Thanks Barbara for sharing this treasure.

What a unique location for our Christmas vacation. It was so wonderful being on the estuary watching the tide ebb and flow eaxh day. The bird life on the water was so enjoyable to watch as well as catching the odd fish from the front of the property The hose is well appointed thoufh it did get a little warm on the hotter days. The bathroom being in a separate building was manageable but not great when the Dunedin rains set in. Be prepared for the walk in and out of the proerty but it does add to the charm of As Ye Like It.

Stunning spot to stay. Wouldn't choose anywhere else in the wider area.

Like stepping into a 1920’s picture book. Idyllic, cosy, scenic and one we’ll never forget. Kayak, stroll, visit the blue penguin reserve, picnic, watch the ebb and flow of the tide with spoonbills and seals. Don’t hesitate.

Absolutely stunning. Favourite place ive ever stayed. Watching inlet change amazing, so quiet, birds, no traffic. Just stunning. Thanku.

History, location, granduer, good facilities a delightful place to enjoy for a few days For the international traveller it would have been nice to know.... no shops, no fuel, no resturaunts close by Howevet value for money and wondeful views

A unique getaway, we loved it.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! So peaceful, calm and relaxing. Almost everything you could need is there. Bathroom and extra bedrooms are in separate buildings close by.

The most beautiful quaint rustic cottage set in a wonderful location. It was comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. Lots of thoughtful touches. There was a very friendly duck which appeared morning and evening to be fed!!

even better than anticipated, a beautifully restored original , not prissy' authentic ,oozing character, wished I had the gear to repair leak in rowboat, and wonderful coalrange definitely needs good dry kindling and coal supply, otherwise all one could want!

It's a wonderful place to relax and unwind Thanks for letting us stay

We had a magical 4 nights at "As you like it". The cottage jad everything you need and more, but the location is the best bit! You cant help but unwind! We will be back!
