Michelle New Zealand

An early 20th century house that had been sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard to make a very comfortable and restful b & b. The owner was a lovely lady who prepared beautiful, tasty breakfasts - easily the best we had while travelling in NZ. Our room opened out onto a lovely garden where we sat and watched native birds coming and going. The location was great, being close to a regular and cheap bus going to Dunedin and, in the other direction, within a short drive to Albatross Centre and the rest of the Otago peninsula. Easily one of the nicest places we stayed during a 2 month tour of NZ.
