We are a family with 3 adults, 2 teens and a child. We enjoyed staying at Phil and Lara's place because of its scenic location and its rich character. We come to appreciate the history of port chalmers. Going to harington point and aramoana from their house is convenient and near. Phil was always quick to respond to our requests and we enjoyed his humour, friendliness and the story he shared about the house's history. We will come back again!
