      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.

      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!

      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!
