Just off the winding harbour road. We stayed two nights here to visit Dunedin on one side and the Royal Albatross Centre on the other side. Room with bay view (12m2) and shower room (4 m2), being just large enough, and a little balcony as well. There was an optional shared bathroom in the corridor with a large blue bubble... More

Hosts Alex and Libby made us very welcome. Staying with them was like staying with relatives that you really, really like, only better, because we didn't have to clean up. Alex kept us company at supper (a half-hour with him was worth four guidebooks and a lot more entertaining), and the next morning we were treated to a wonderful breakfast... More

We had two nights in Dunedin and found Harbour Lights by chance getting booked through an iSite. We had no idea what to expect when we arrived... Alex and Libby were over the top great. They have a great location right in the middle between the Albatross colony and the city, beautiful views and the two of them are awesome!... More

Alex and Libby are great hosts, and their house is really comfortable. The breakfast is awesome, and they are always in a good mood for helping out or giving recommendation. You can spend hours looking at the sea from one of their windows, so if you want a simple but nice B&B, this is definitely a great option!

A great place to stay opposite the water at Macandrew Bay. Alex and Libby are so friendly - nothing is too much trouble. Near to all the sights - albatross, penguins, Dunedin, seals. Great breakfasts and lovely welcome.

We stayed with Alex and Libby at their wonderful guest house for four nights in their en suite room which has magnificent views of Macandrew Bay.This is an ideal spot being about 15 minutes drive from the centre of Dunedin but in a small village type environment with views to die for. We were made to feel welcome from the... More

Larnach castle and Glenfalloch gardens are close by. "Natures Wonders" at Taiaroa Head is a must , it has magnificient panoramic view and wonderful to see yellow eyed penguins and... More
