Elaine made us feel like welcome guests in her beautiful home. The room is stylish and comfortable, but the view from the windows and the roar of the waves below make this a truly special experience. You can have coffee on the private deck in the morning or a grown-up beverage at the end of the day. We walked the beautiful beach and watched the surf and the surfers, even in the rain it was wonderful. The Otago Peninsula is an absolute must, even if you just drive up Portobello Rd and back HighCliff Rd. The views are spectacular, but a stop at The Albatross Centre is well worth your time and/or Larnach Castle. You can drive 50 minutes north and have the meal of your lifetime at Fleur's Place in Moeraki. All of these amazing experiences are only accentuated by comfort and hospitality in Elaine's home. We would absolutely chose this location again, if our travels bring us back near Dunedin.
