We had a lovely New Years stay at Dunluce. We enjoyed exploring the house and the extensive gardens and farmland. It was a very easy drive into Kaikoura and so close to Ohau seal colony to watch the very cute pups. Hannah and Antony were great hosts and even brought us delicious scones as well as leaving us fresh eggs and lemons.
The house is quite old and has its quirks, but was very comfortable. The kitchen is huge and an enjoyable place to make a family meal. The beds and bed linens were very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are on the older side but very functional. The house has tons of space and lovely views from all the rooms. We enjoyed one of the fireplaces on a cold and rainy day. The rest of the days were quite warm and it was nice to keep all the windows open and the breeze flowing even if it did attract moths and insects.
