A Dunedin family home is uninhabitable after fire destroyed much of it this morning.
The four-member family escaped their Flagstaff-Whare Flat Rd home unharmed with their three Christmas guests.
The fire started on the three-bedroom home's veranda before spreading into the living room through a window.
Roslyn Station fire officer Martin Jansen said the cause of the fire was being investigated but was not suspicious.
