A charming cottage, comfortably appointed and with so much character. Super quiet at night, we thought it was a great base from which to explore the Otago Peninsula, handy for the albatross colony and penguins, and close to Portobello for grocery...

Host's were amazing and super friendly- gave us tomatoes, peaches and eggs! Loved the house and the garden was gorgeous. Close to albatross and penguin colonies, and we managed to see a seal in the harbour so definitely a must-see place for those...

The cottage just had a lovely feel about it. Greeted by the hosts with some local knowledge and some free-range eggs. Our granddaughter loved the garden and really enjoyed meeting the chickens.

Settlers Cottage is a beautiful historic pioneer cottage with original Kauri floors, a coal range and three bedrooms (2 in the upstairs attic), as well as a new modern bathroom. Surrounded by world class wildlife reserves, beaches, walks and with the small village of Portobello 5 minutes drive away, you will find this a lovely peaceful spot. Step back in time and relax in our tranquil cottage garden for a few days. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE TWO OTHER COTTAGE BEDROOMS WITH THE DOUBLE AND THE BEDROOM WITH THE TWO SINGLE BEDS ARE ACCESSED VIA A LOFT LADDER WHICH MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE (SEE PHOTO). If you require further information please contact us.
Welcome to our quaint historic cottage. Enjoy our tranquil gardens and beach environment. We are just next door in our house if you need us.
