What a treat to stay in Allan’s gem, the Lookout! Waking up to the view of the harbor at dawn from enormous bedroom window is enchanting. Sipping a glass of wine on outdoor deck with sounds of birds, lovely flowers overlooking the water just as delightful. A tiny house to rival any on the American tv show-everything very stylish, hi tech yet warm and homey with lots of natural woods and color, interesting things to look at all around from the artwork to the construction and lighting fixtures. Allan thought through every detail in building this house and is just as considerate as a host. He went out of his way to help me with a special issue I had prior to check in. I cannot recommend this host or his home highly enough, an outstanding value.
In addition, beautiful beaches and walks, nice restaurants very close by. So much to see and do in Dunedin. A highlight was a walk out on nearby sand spit with 3 large fur seals so close we could have touched them, just across from the 2nd oldest lighthouse in NZ, above the albatross nesting area (we had toured that area by boat earlier in the day and seen them soaring). Also the walk to Tunnel Beach and the Taieri Gorge train ride from the famously beautiful station.
Many other things we hope to do on a future trip as my husband and I would love to return!
