The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the room is very spacious, everything was clean and tidy, the facilities are absolutely adequate. It is located directly on the lake, you have a wonderful view over the lake. The restaurants are about 3 minutes away by car. Ana is a lovely hostess, she made a very good breakfast and fulfilled all our wishes. This accommodation is highly recommended, a big big thank you to Ana

Excellent bed and breakfast. We stayed for one night to visit the Royal Albatross centre. It is perfectly located towards the peninsula outside Dunedin. Glorious views. The garden of the property is lovely with lots of birdlife and the outdoor seating area of the room was a real treat. The room itself was very spacious and had a great night sleep. Breakfast was excellent, a lovely combination of fresh fruits, cereals and cooked options, all freshly prepared by the host -who was very welcoming and always happy to help.

This is an amazing find & we wish we had stayed for a week. The property, beautiful hostess, area attractions & fantastic breakfast need more time to be savored.

We liked everything about this place: the location, sited high on a hill with a great view; our spacious room; the excellent breakfast. Our room had its own entrance to the garden (as well as entrance from the front hall of the house). The garden was well tended and full of flowers. A tui came often to the bird feeder in front of our window. We enjoyed both the restaurants in Portobello, and we loved the peninsula.

Beautiful location, comfortable and quiet. This was the perfect place for us to have as a base for our few days in the area. Our host was lovely and helpful, our breakfasts amazing and the views refreshing. Would not hesitate to book again.

Wow…we were so impressed. Each day we had cereals, fruit with a treat to the side, like freshly baked bread or fruit tart followed by a cooked meal of eggs and bacon.

Warm welcome. Beautiful home & gardens. Well appointed, spacious accommodation, luxury bed linen & toiletries. Nice touch that there was a separate lounge with fridge (tea/coffee making facilities as well as snacks, soft drinks & beer) available as well as your bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast excellent, best we have had on our travels around New Zealand. Would highly recommend a stay with Anna.

Beautiful house with sea view and gardens with birdsong. Underfloor heating in the bathroom did the chilly mornings and evenings was most welcome. Loved the fact you could walk into Portobello along a back-garden trail. Anna friendly and made ideal suggestions re where to go; also made the best scrambled eggs! 😋

A beautiful house in a good location to explore nature and walk to eateries. Our own lounge, a wonderful breakfast and a superb host.

The accommodation is a beautifully maintained and elegantly furnished house built in the early 1900s. It's set in lovely gardens with an amazing view over the harbour. Despite the size and elegance of the house, however, Ana made us feel comfortable and relaxed and very much as though we were staying in a friend's home. Her breakfasts lived up to the expectations set by previous reviews. We would certainly stay here again.

There was nothing to dislike. Everything was fabulous from the welcome to the breakfasts to the hospitality

Everything! We had a lovely room with an amazing view and even on a windy stormy night we remained comfortable and had a great sleep. Breakfasts were scrumptious and our hostess was just lovely. We were able to come and go as we pleased and it was always great to have someone appropriately interested in our day. Ana was also really helpful phoning to book an evening meal for us on our first night.There were plenty of books to look at/read and tv to watch if you ever got fed up with the view.
