The first thing I said when we arrived was "I never want to leave this place!!!"
Joe and I fell in-love with the Otago Peninsula and Portabello. Guy and Maura were so helpful prior, during and after our stay from information about the village, petrol, penguin tours and lighting the fire place. The cottage was perfect for us, fully equipped with plenty of room, warm and comfy bed and the most stunning views overlooking the harbour and surrounds.
We would recommend staying at least 3 nights so you can explore the peninsula and see the Dunedin street art. We will be staying again - I've already made Joe promise to take me back one day - it has been the highlight of our NZ trip so far.
Ps if you're into star gazing / photography there are so many opportunities to do that here! (Allan's beach & Cape Saunders were incredible).
