This was a wonderful place for a holiday for us, in amongst the bush, bellbirds and tui. There are fantastic views of the harbour, from Port Chalmers right along to Taiaroa Heads, and surrounding landscape from the living room window. We were able to explore the local area such as Allen's Beach with the sea lions there. Shaun and Helen were very respectful of our privacy. In addition, Shaun was able to satisfy our curiosity about the flora and fauna on their property which is clearly making a significant environmental contribution to the ecology of the peninsula.
