Sprawling, retro, eclectic, historic... all these could be used to describe Lara and Phil's place. It's a big area, but however interesting the native hardwoods everywhere, the books, paintings and many rooms to explore... it is the view that you'll miss long after you've gone. Lara was very welcoming, and always on hand nearby to answer questions or sort recommendations. Port Chalmers is so close to Dunedin but so secluded... it's another world with the city right there if you want it, and empty beaches when you don't (Doctor's Point is a secret find!)
