Beach lodge motel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spotless. Absolutely amazingly comfortable bed to sleep on after competing in the NZ Masters games. A lovely gesture on arrival...a plate with caramel square. Quiet spot. Parking in front. Very friendly hosts. Definitely stay again. "

Hotels near other Yellow-Eyed Penguin Conservation Reserve attractions

This piece of land on the Otago Peninsula was made into a reserve in the 1980's, to make sure it would always be protected for the Yellow Eyed Penguins. It is a self-funded conservation project that provides for the birds that make it their home - the nests are provided and their habitat is maintained and restored, there is a research program and a hospital for injured or sick birds. The tour takes you to the opposite coast where you can see the penguins come into shore and learn about their strange ways. We saw yellow eyed penguins, little blues and also fur seals. The yellow eyed penguins are endangered, because their juvenile survival rate is incredibly low, and they aren't prolific breeders. Tama, our guide, was funny and entertaining and the whole trip was well worth the $52/pp cost!
