Lovely stay near Port Chalmers. Great views of Dunedin Harbour from the front room and fun to watch the boats and trains pass by. Very comfortable beds and living spaces with cosy sofas and cushions to snuggle down with. Excellent dining options in Port Chalmers (5 mins drive down the road) - we recommend the Japanese/Philippino restaurant and the pub, “The Portside” - or you are only 10 mins from Dunedin’s CBD and all of the options there. We enjoyed being just out of the centre as it was peaceful yet convenient to everything. There is an amazing secondhand bookshop in Port Chalmers as well - the genuine article with lots of classics and treasures to browse through - we loved the display of green Penguin publications in the window. We found parking on the roadside just outside easier than parking in the steep driveway as backing out onto the busy road was a little daunting. Jenny’s suggestion to drive a wee bit up the road to a turning bay was extremely helpful.
