Great to have tour guides with such knowledge and flexibility. An early morning visit to see 4 yellow eyed penguins. An afternoon visit at the Albatross Center and view to see 2 albatross in flight. Then we enjoyed more sights around the Otago Penisula and a gorgeous sunset more

I didn't stay at Nisbet Cottage however I did take advantage of the guided tour service they offer. Six of us accompanied our guide Steve (read his bio on their website) on a sunrise visit to Sandfly Beach where we not only saw the penguins we came to see but additionally fur seals and three Sea Lions. Steve is very... more

We had booked Nisbet cottage in advance of our trip due to the combination of B&B with guided tours. Our drive down from Christchurch was dreary due to the poor weather and the approach to Nisbet Cottage through hilly suburbia was unpromising. However, on arrival at Nisbet Cottage our mood was lifted by the warm welcome from Hildegard and lovely... more

We not only enjoyed the lovely room, but also the Sunrise Penguin Walk where we were able to view yellow-eyed penguins (as well as a Fjordland penguin) in their native habitat. The B&B was wonderful, with very clean rooms, excellent service, and very friendly personnel. Steve was a wonderful Sunrise Penguin Walk guide, who was very knowledgeable. more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The facilities were excellent, but better than that were the two accompanied tours, the pre-breakfast Penguin Walk, and the Dunedin City and Otago Peninsular wildlife trips. The guides, Steve and Hildegard were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, and made the stay completely unforgettable. I would recommend staying here to anyone! more
