Had a wonderful stay at Barbara & Ian's quaint and historical cottage. It was in a great location, handy to the wildlife and other sights on the peninsula. We were a bit worried about being cold in an old building during a Dunedin winter, but Barbara kindly put the heat pump on before our arrival and it was toasty and warm in the lounge and there was a heater upstairs, plenty of blankets and hot water bottles for the kids. The kids loved playing in the loft and had a blast feeding the chickens with fresh veggies from the little cottage garden. The cottage was small and cosy but packed with all the amenities we needed for our stay and there were books and some games. Barbara was very kind to help out during a power cut due to stormy weather, and when I sprained my ankle. I would recommend the Settlers Cottage to others, as a perfect base for exploring the peninsula, or to feel like you are stepping back in time to focus on the simple things.
