Captain Eady's Lookout

Excellent location, close to Portobello amenities and Port to Port Harbour Cruises

A bit draughty

Such a perfect stay! The view is out of this world, it was exceptionally comfortable (the best night's sleep I've had for ages) and the breakfast was so delicious. Can't recommend Captain Eady's Lookout and Anna's hospitality enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Nothing I didn't like!

Best breakfast I have ever been offered. Most ingredients from local Farmers Market. Carefully cooked and beautifully presented. The house is traditional but with high quality modern features. The furniture and fabrics are gorgeous.

Bed was a bit hard. Everything else was great.

Breakfast was delicious very fresh, varied and beautifully cooked.

Could not be better.

Loved the location, everything super clean, room cosy & the breakfasts were yummy.

Een geweldig huis, mooi gelegen en sfeervol ingericht. Vriendelijke gastvrouw die alles perfect regelde en vooral een heerlijk ontbijt verzorgde.

Eigenlijk niets.

Sehr gemütlich und persönlich eingerichtetes Zimmer mit großartigem Seeblick. Sehr gepflegt. Freundliche Gastgeberin. Das beste Frühstück, das wir in Neuseeland bisher bekommen haben, reichhaltig mit allem, was man sich nur wünschen kann. Sehr ruhige Lage in einer Sackgasse.

Man sollte sich bewusst sein, das die Unterkunft 15 km entfernt von Dunedin liegt.

Alles okay

What a beautiful, charming property which was pristine clean. We had the en-suite room upstairs with the magnificent views of Otago Bay. The room was beautiful ,bed was very comfortable, there was plenty of hot water in the bathroom, tea / coffee , and lovely Whitaker’s chocolate. Our lovely host Anna had thought of everything that we would need down to a hairbrush to go with the hairdryer. We also had use of a small and cosy lounge which had a Tv, fridge and tea/coffee facilities . For breakfast we had a selection of cereal/ fresh fruit / cheese, bread toast and eggs. Anna went out of her way to bake a gluten free pastry to meet my dietary requirements for breakfast which was absolutely delicious. Great location to visit Lanark Castle / The Royal Albatross Centre and If you want to see Sea Lions in their natural habitat take a walk on Allan’s beach. I would highly recommend staying here , you won’t want to leave ….fantastic host

We loved everything about our stay - what a wonderful place to live.

Het ontbijt was meer dan uitstekend!

Niets viel tegen, prima plek, goede bedden, mooi uitzicht.

Prima B&B met een kamer met uitzicht op de baai. Goed restaurant in de nabijheid en aan het ontbijt ontbrak niets. Erg vriendelijke host.

Aanbeveling is om op de kamer een klein koelkastje te hebben zodat de andere niet gedeeld hoeft te worden

I liked the homeyness, beautiful surroundings & garden. Ana our host was so kind , accommodating & provided a delicious, hot breakfast, with eggs, toast, yogurt / fruit & granola.

The room was a bit small however adequate for our short stay.

Amazing place to stay. Very friendly home owner and easy access to everything in the house. Amazing breakfast provided!

The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the room is very spacious, everything was clean and tidy, the facilities are absolutely adequate. It is located directly on the lake, you have a wonderful view over the lake. The restaurants are about 3 minutes away by car. Ana is a lovely hostess, she made a very good breakfast and fulfilled all our wishes. This accommodation is highly recommended, a big big thank you to Ana

Lovely gardens and very and comfortable, charming interior, tended with love.

Excellent bed and breakfast. We stayed for one night to visit the Royal Albatross centre. It is perfectly located towards the peninsula outside Dunedin. Glorious views. The garden of the property is lovely with lots of birdlife and the outdoor seating area of the room was a real treat. The room itself was very spacious and had a great night sleep. Breakfast was excellent, a lovely combination of fresh fruits, cereals and cooked options, all freshly prepared by the host -who was very welcoming and always happy to help.

Nothing.

Amazing views, so much space, very comfy bed, absolutely everything you could need and more.

This is an amazing find & we wish we had stayed for a week. The property, beautiful hostess, area attractions & fantastic breakfast need more time to be savored.

The room, the view, the hospitality and the breakfast. Thanks Ana!

Overall, everything was great; however, we noticed a dusty smell from the bedsheet, which unfortunately made it difficult for us to sleep until 4 a.m. On a positive note, the host was very kind, and the breakfast was excellent, complemented by a stunning view.

We liked everything about this place: the location, sited high on a hill with a great view; our spacious room; the excellent breakfast. Our room had its own entrance to the garden (as well as entrance from the front hall of the house). The garden was well tended and full of flowers. A tui came often to the bird feeder in front of our window. We enjoyed both the restaurants in Portobello, and we loved the peninsula.

Nothing.

Anna was an amazing host! She made us feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Breakfast was delicious! The garden is lovely. We appreciated the location, it was convenient to all of our activities.

Everything was perfect. The accommodation was great. It was so much better than being in the heart of the city. the breakfast was the best so far in NZ. Ana ensured we had a great time

Nothing. Everything was spot on

Beautiful location, comfortable and quiet. This was the perfect place for us to have as a base for our few days in the area. Our host was lovely and helpful, our breakfasts amazing and the views refreshing. Would not hesitate to book again.

Everything was exceptional: especially our hostess Ana 🌸

Nothing at all.

Homecooked with love. Very generous portions.

Wow…we were so impressed. Each day we had cereals, fruit with a treat to the side, like freshly baked bread or fruit tart followed by a cooked meal of eggs and bacon.

Beautiful, peaceful home and location. We were made to feel very welcome. Anna, is a thoughtful host. Breakfasts - superb.

Warm welcome. Beautiful home & gardens. Well appointed, spacious accommodation, luxury bed linen & toiletries. Nice touch that there was a separate lounge with fridge (tea/coffee making facilities as well as snacks, soft drinks & beer) available as well as your bedroom and bathroom. Breakfast excellent, best we have had on our travels around New Zealand. Would highly recommend a stay with Anna.

Breakfast was delicious! The hospitality and caring of the host was very good.

Everything! Great house with lots of character in a nice location on top of a hill, lovely host who made us very good breakfast, the garden was lovely and restaurants were within walking distance.

Beautiful house with sea view and gardens with birdsong. Underfloor heating in the bathroom did the chilly mornings and evenings was most welcome. Loved the fact you could walk into Portobello along a back-garden trail. Anna friendly and made ideal suggestions re where to go; also made the best scrambled eggs! 😋

A beautiful house in a good location to explore nature and walk to eateries. Our own lounge, a wonderful breakfast and a superb host.

Nothing.

The accommodation is a beautifully maintained and elegantly furnished house built in the early 1900s. It's set in lovely gardens with an amazing view over the harbour. Despite the size and elegance of the house, however, Ana made us feel comfortable and relaxed and very much as though we were staying in a friend's home. Her breakfasts lived up to the expectations set by previous reviews. We would certainly stay here again.

This was the best stay,views,location,house,breakfast.etc etc..& of course Ana,a very special host.thank you.

There was nothing to dislike about the stay.

The host , Ana was awesome and made us very welcome.

Awesome views , easy walk to the pub

Everything! We had a lovely room with an amazing view and even on a windy stormy night we remained comfortable and had a great sleep. Breakfasts were scrumptious and our hostess was just lovely. We were able to come and go as we pleased and it was always great to have someone appropriately interested in our day. Ana was also really helpful phoning to book an evening meal for us on our first night.There were plenty of books to look at/read and tv to watch if you ever got fed up with the view.

There was nothing to dislike. Everything was fabulous from the welcome to the breakfasts to the hospitality

Ana was very helpful The breakfast was first class and good variety The ambiance was relaxing and I would not hesitate to recommend for those wanting a wonderful time away

The parking Not a major as there was parking on the street

Superb selection of fruit and cereals and great presentation.

Everything! Particularly the view, breakfast and hospitality

There was nothing to not like

The whole experience was lovely, wonderful host and accommodation. Beautiful breakfast too, nothing too much trouble.

This was the real Deal B&B. Anna, the host, with the most.... Made us feel welcome, comfortable and provided great local knowledge to support our visiting needs.

There was nothing about our stay we did not like. We highly recommend...

A little gem of a place - beautiful house and stunning location. Breakfast was excellent, in a cozy dining room . The towels were fluffy and bed linen, high quality. loved this place

Fantastic breakfast. One of the best we have ever received at a BnB

Parking was a bit difficult.

the view was amazing from my room, the host was lovely. I had a great stay

Beautiful property, lovely views, host was amazing, and delicious breakfast

An early 20th century house that had been sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard to make a very comfortable and restful b & b. The owner was a lovely lady who prepared beautiful, tasty breakfasts - easily the best we had while travelling in NZ. Our room opened out onto a lovely garden where we sat and watched native birds coming and going. The location was great, being close to a regular and cheap bus going to Dunedin and, in the other direction, within a short drive to Albatross Centre and the rest of the Otago peninsula. Easily one of the nicest places we stayed during a 2 month tour of NZ.

The restaurants in Portobello were both closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Everything.

All good.

It was a pleasure to stay at CaptainEadysLookout and join these fantastic views ! Ana way so helpful and made a fantastic breakfast without any yes or no and points to choose! We had a very nice room, a bath and a small room to sit with a fridge as well !

Maybe the shower needs a Showerhead for handuse

Beautifully located & peaceful

Nothing

Great stay and host

The friendly and helpful hostess at this beautiful house in such a lovely setting. We enjoyed our private space, including the little sitting room. Breakfast was delicious!

Beautiful, characterful property in a stunning location. Harbour views and birdsong. Lovely host, Ana, who made us feel at home and welcome throughout our stay.

The views were wonderful.

The breakfast was delicious and the host Anna is delightful .It’s also a quick walk down to the port to port wildlife cruise.There’s a wide variety of movies you can watch, we would 100 percent recommend it.

Fantastic, can't fault it

Nothing to not like

Breakfast was really good. Our host was gracious and looked after us very well. The room had a wonderful view of the night sky.
