It was a wet, cold Dunedin summer during our visit. And we loved it.
The view from the room was Wordsworthian. The wood fire conquered the cold, with a bit of help from the electric blankets and the deep bathtub - which had a view over the bay and a headrest!
On the Peninsula we saw albatross nesting, blue penguins return to shore and fur seals play in the twilight.
My girlfriend climbed the hill behind the house and swears she's never seen a better view.
Had the weather not been so overcast we would have seen the Aurora Australis. A great shame to miss it. And another reason to come back to this lovely little house.
We're already planning our next visit.
