We had a warm welcome in a lovely little studio with complete privacy and quietness. The place is spotless and very well-maintained, with a handy hotplate/toaster combo if you want to do a bit of simple cooking. It's a short drive down to Portobello village for some groceries and cafes, and a longer 20-minute drive back to Dunedin city. This place is great for scenic lookouts, with Hoopers Inlet, Allans Beach, and Harrington Point all within 15-minutes drive. The nearby bays are restful. Our key highlights were seeing our national flag fly high, and tasting Marty's great freshly roasted coffee on a wet morning and chatting with him in his cosy home.
