We stayed for for nights and were happy that we stayed in st.clair., rather than the city.
Penny's place is a minute to the beach and comfortably and warmly decorated.
Easy parking, straight forward bus to the city, a minute's walk to good cafes and restaurants, a short drive to the Otago Peninsula and albstross colony.
Unless you're wanting to eat out, you need to bring all of your cooking essentials as there is only salt and pepper, coffee and tea provided.
