2 Bedroom House in Harwood, Portobello

Harwood is a couple of kilometres off the Dunedin – Tairoa Head main road (on the Otago Peninsula), which is at sea level almost all the way, so ideal for cyclists.
The harbour itself is shallow on our side and warm for children to play in; being sheltered, kayaking is easy and safe. It is interesting to see the large container ships out in the channel but equally interesting to observe the wading birds – oystercatchers, swans, spoonbills, stilts, paradise ducks, etc., – closeby.
It is a very quiet and slow little community with surrounding farmland giving rural interest.
It is a five minute drive (half hour walk) to Portobello Village where there are the usual amenities: petrol is available at the garage , groceries at the shop, alcohol at the famous Portobello Hotel and there are several lunch and dining facilities .
The Otago Peninsula is world famous for its marine animals: fur seals and sea lions, occasionally there are elephant seals, dolphins or whales in the harbour; and for birds: royal albatross, yellow eyed penguins, blue penguins, as well as a variety of native birds and waders. Larnach's Castle, the Disappearing Gun and Happy Hens are worth visiting. There are a number of tours and information freely available.
Special conditions:
The small bedroom has a set of single bunks. There are two additional stretchers. A stretcher could be erected in the the (very large) master bedroom. Alternatively the sofa in the lounge can be pulled into a double bed.
This is a not a large house and ideally would suit a couple or small family.

Summary: The location was perfect for chilling out and visiting the Albatross centre and local area. Cosy and comfortable, excellent fire. Good instructions and quick friendly responses from the host prior to conformation. Probably only (minor) drawback is that there was not much spare cupboard/benchtop space to put groceries. Definitely would stay again and recommend to others.
