Elke is a fantastic host. She and her family are so welcoming. It felt like visiting friends.
The first email I received was full of information on what to do around. We've booked several times through AirBnB but we've never received a first email like that. It was so welcoming.
Elke's guesthouse is perfect! Compact, cosy, comfortable. It has all you need. And the location
is awesome. It is so nice to wake up to the garden and the access to the beach from the garden is great, even if the water is cold.
Our 5 year old daughter loved feeding the chooks with our food scraps.
Broad Bay is the perfect place to be to explore the Otago Peninsula. We stayed for a week and did not have enough time to do all we wanted to see (wildlife, tramps, beaches, shellfish harvesting...). It is also close enough to Dunedin to do more city-oriented and indoors activities, particularly if the weather is not suitable for a full day outside.
We will come back to Elke's guesthouse to keep exploring the area!
