We think that The Lookout is the perfect place for a couple looking for a base to explore the Otago region. Yes, it is small, as described, but the space is used to provide every amenity without any feeling of being cramped. It is comfortable and warm - we lit the wood heater on a cold night. And the view is wonderful. Watching, from the bedroom, the sun rise over the peninsula and the bay will be one of the memories of our trip.
We did not meet Allan, but communication was excellent - always quick and friendly.
Great value and highly recommended.
