Monique was a warm, welcoming host who did everything she could to make us welcome and tell us about the local attractions. The place is stunning - lofty ceilings, a sense of beauty, space and cosiness, a generous kitchen with everything you could need and a spotless bathroom with a fabulous shower. We spent lovely evenings sitting on the deck watching the sun set behind the port. The bed was super comfy with high-quality linen - it was a treat to lie there in the morning watching the gulls riding the thermals over Mussel Bay. Great parking, quiet and an easy flat walk to the main street. Port Chalmers is a vibrant town with eclectic shops and excellent bars, hotels and cafes. It's also a great central location for visiting the coast and beaches, Dunedin city and the peninsula. Every meal and coffee we had in Port was extremely high quality. Great stepping off point to explore Dunedin and the area. Highly recommended.
