I had relatives staying with me from Edmonton Canada, they were simply 'blown away' by the situation of the cottage viewing the harbour every day and spending time at the seaside.. The facilities at the property are outstanding, all needs catered for and attractive places to spend time outdoors. Contact with Graham was very supportive when booking and follow up. We highly recommend this house to others. Despite being on a hillside there is a double room downstairs allowing flat access if necessary as living area and bathroom is on the same level. The drive along Portabello Road is very scenic and yet takes only 15-20 minutes to get to many attractions, eg Royal Albatross at Taiaroa Head, Allen's Beach (sea lions and great walk), Glenfalloch woodlands Gardens, Lanarch Castle; slightly farther afield on the opposite side of the harbour Port Chalmers and in particular Orokonui Reserve in additiion to city attractions such as the restful and informative Chinese Gardens and the Toi Tu museum and Olveston House Five days passed very quickly.

The best holiday home we have ever stayed in. Perfectly positioned, beautiful views, well-equipped. Clean, tidy, home away from home. We’ll definitely be back.

Adorable place. Thank you Graham & Sandi for letting us enjoy a few Spring days in your special house on the peninsula. Comfortable - awesome views - wonderful position to explore the peninsula. Kids loved seeing the penguins, seals & albatross colony & exploring Pudding island :) We'll be back for sure Mell
