A fabulous b and b located in the midst of a spectacular rose garden. While the room is beautifully appointed and comfortable, the breakfasts, lovingly prepared by Mary, are outstanding. The first morning she baked muffins and served with clotted cream, followed by fresh fruit and yogurt and finished with poached eggs whole grain toast, and home made meat sausages... More

Great attention to comfort and cleanliness. Welcome tea and cake. Magnificent, generous and extensive breakfast and fine dinner. Good restaurant a few minutes walk. Good location for exploring Dunedin and the wildlife on Otago Peninsula, hosts very knowledgeable and willing to advise on the best use of our time. Booked excellent tours and trips for us. The recommended evening tour... More

We had a wonderful three night stay on the Portobello Island with Mary and Pat. The bed and breakfast is located towards the tip of a windy-roaded island (be aware!), but once you get there, you'll find you won't need to leave that often. There's also a convenient bus stop nearby that takes you into town in case you want... More

We had 3 very happy nights staying at this B&B. The room was very comfortable having everything required and especially more than average privacy for a B&B situation. The garden is fabulous and helps make this place special. The food was overwhelming, more than necessary and very tasty. Pat and Mary, the hosts, were full of local knowledge and very... More

We stayed with Mary and Pat in November 2011 for three nights. Portobello is a great tourist destination with plenty of outdoor activities and a great little restaurant in the town. McAuley B&B was a great place to stay at and the website accurately reflects what you will experience there. Mary and Pat are great hosts and certainly go out... More

I stayed with Mary and Pat in April 2011 for 4 nights. Mary and Pat are delightful hosts and offer the best breakfast (warning very rich). I enjoyed a lot staying with them. The House and the rooms are perfect, everything you need is there and very nicely decorated. The House has a Whirlpool (quite useful in Dunedin, as it... More

Staying at McAuley B& B was an excellent experience. Mary and Pat made us very welcome from the moment we arrived until we left 4 days later. The room was beautifully decorated, the autumn garden was a treat, and each breakfast was something to be experienced. As an added bonus, there was magnificent scenery virtually around the corner on the... More

Thanks Mary and Pat. Your are really wonderful hosts. On our trip through the south island we got spoiled at your unique charming place by absolutely comfortable beds. Shame we couldn't stay longer to enjoy your beautiful garden, great home made breakfast and outstanding hospitality. We love to come back. Highly recommended to everyone. Thanks a lot Monika and Enno

We really enjoy the stay at McAuley, till now we still remember the rooms, the garden, the breakfast, the night with champagne...... We travel by car, and with the GPS, it is easy to find this B&B, which is near to the 1908 resturant. The rooms are so nice, also the bathrooms with floor heated. We really feel like at... More
