Writer-friendly accommodation available in Port Chalmers

By Paul Sewter | Posted: Monday May 04, 2026

Furnished room available in a quiet hillside home in Port Chalmers with panoramic harbour views — ideal for a visiting writer or researcher looking for uninterrupted time to work on a project.

Available from early May 2026 for stays of 2–6 months. $250/week, all inclusive (power, fibre internet, water). Shared living spaces with the owner, a writer and arts practitioner, and his young son on a part-time basis.

The property is accessed via a steep path — reasonable fitness needed — but the reward is genuine seclusion and a beautiful setting. Off-street parking available. Non-smoker preferred.
