About the host
Hosted by Alistair Tod
Kirsty & Alistair - we love to travel and are a Kiwi / Scottish combo who have traveled the world extensively. We know what a good experience requires as far as accommodation comfort and local amenities are concerned. Both love the outdoors - walking, biking, swimming, golf.
We live within a few miles of Dunalistair House so one of us will meet you on check in to show you around the home.

Why they chose this property
We built Dunalistair House as an ambitious project at a time when the world was facing a global financial crisis !! We weathered that storm and have never looked back since. We love to utilise the home when we can for our family - but love to share it to worldly travellers who are looking for somewhere a little unique and off the beaten track. And if you are a golfer, we argue that there is no home like this one located on a golf course anywhere in New Zealand - the colour contrasts of evening light across the golf course are simply incredible.
Kinloch has a magic about it - great lake, beach, shoreline native forest, walking trails, biking trails etc - it is a lovely place to retreat for a few days re-charge. Great to have all the activities of Taupo and Rotorua nearby as well.
We do recommend a car, but if you need a driver or guide, Alistair is also a professional tour guide with his own touring company based in the region.
