A Happy Accident”

We spent three nights in the small village of Portobello, located about twenty minutes from Dunedin. We might have missed some interesting and memorable experiences had we chosen differently. Our hosts were welcoming and the accommodation very comfortable. We highly recommend this lodging.

Beautiful and comfy room, sparkling clean, helpful reception!”

Motel was located right along the road from Dunedin to Royal Albatross Centre. Room was modern and tastefully furnished. We stayed in a studio with a little balcony that would have been ideal for stargazing if the weather had been a little warmer! Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Good accommodation in a nice area”

This Motel is 20k out of the centre of Dunedin but in a perfect position to visit the Penguin and Albatross centre. Also spome nice restaruants in walking distance.

Beautiful view”

The location was wonderful with quite a view. It was out of the hub-bub of Dunedin and near some very private beaches off the beaten path. We were also close to the Albatross Center.. Keith and Sue could not have been more accommodating and personable If we ever return to New Zealand we would be sure to come back. Jim and Barb

Beautiful View matched the room”

Beautiful quiet location close to long sandy beaches. Great walking and wildlife with very few people A very well presented room with view over the bay towards Dunedin, we couldn’t ask for more

coolest place ever”

Big spacious clean rooms, nicest and friendliest owners who love their work and keep their property in great condition. Owners will help you to get everything you want to from your vacation on peninsula. Very enjoyable stay and first time I give 100% scores for hotel review

Dunedin? Definitely Otago Penisular!”

Located in a quite peaceful area with amazing mountain and beach view from the room. As what posted by the travellers, the lady operating the place was very helpful indeed. She even helped to call up the Royal Albatross Centre to check on the timing for the penguin viewing tour. Even gave us a handy map and some great tips on the day of departure. The free internet quota for 2 days was 2GB which I think is sufficient. Will definitely come back as a happy guest!

Clean, bright, and helpful”

We really enjoyed our two nights here. Tastefully decorated Studio 2 has a great view of the water and warm afternoon sun. Jo was very helpful in suggesting where to view penguins and take walks. The laundry area is available from 2 PM - 7 PM at no cost. The water pressure was wonderful.

Fabulous Stay”

We booked late, but on arrival we greeted with a warm welcome. The cabin was very clean, with a gorgeous view of the water. A well stocked kitchen & got some good advice about where to go to eat & what to see.. I wish we could've stayed longer!!

NICE LAKE VIEW”

ONLY THREE RESTAURANT AND CAFE NEARBY, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY A GOOD CHOICE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A QUIET PLACE WITH GOOD LAKE VIEW. A BIT OUT OF TOWN, BUT ITS OK FOR ME. CLEAN ROOM AND NICE STAFF.

Pretty motel near Royal Albatoross center”

15minutes to Royal Albatoross center by car. Very pretty and comfortable room. Owner is friendly.

Good place to stay if you want to be out on the Otago Peninsula ”

Spacious, clean, well equipped rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy drive to the Albatross centre.

Great stay on the peninsula ”

We arrived and were greeted like old friends by Sue and Keith who couldn't have welcomed us more then they booked our train tickets. The property is in excellent shape and the views fantastic

Excellent”

Pros: well maintained, good self catering facility, reasonable value for money in an expensive market. Cons: a bit far from the town. Units à bit haphazardly placed on property. Not a problem bit was slightly off-putting for a place calling itself an escape.

Exceptional”

Jo and Gordon are the nicest , friendliest people you could wish to meet. Thu units are clean and make you feel at ease

Great stop in a lovely setting”

Pros: spacious, immaculate and well-supplied with everything you need. Great location. Cons: nothing to speak of.
