The lodge is a perfect base for the various activities on the Otago peninsula and served us well. It is close to Portobello where you can get get some food (I would steer clear of the cafe, overpriced and pretentious) and has great views looking out over the water. The price was also good and the owners friendly. Only downsides were no locks on the doors, a small room (with no spare electric sockets - one used for the tiny spotlight and one for the heater) and thin walls - when we stayed kids were in the room next door and were up early jumping on the beds / getting shouted at by their mother! There is also only one toilet / shower so can get unlucky.
