If you're wanting to get away from the riff raff, this is the best possible place! Chris is the most inviting, warm and respectful host. I got everything I wanted to do out of this trip. Writing done in the beautiful courtyard next to the bubbling water feature, walks into the seclusion of the hills and sand in my boots. We even went to the pub on the final night and the food was awesome! If you're without a car it's a wee bit of a hike to town but well worth it to get back to nature, and yourself, along the bays. I've left Dunedin with a new friend in Chris and her wee family, and a love for the area she showed me so generously. What a treat! Thanks :)
