Response from the owner Thank you so much for your delightful review of Dunalistair House. I am extremely proud of the high standards that we maintain at the home with regards to ensure that it becomes a home-from-home for every individual guest that comes to stay here. And your description of Kinloch as a course hits the nail on the head! Tough and Interesting are two perfect adjectives to describe it, but I have heard some others too...! I look forward to welcoming you back again next time you visit New Zealand. Best wishes, Alistair Tod Proprietor Dunalistair House Kinloch Holiday Homes.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for your very kind review Adrian. I am so pleased that your group loved the house and the remarkable views. It was a pleasure to meet you all and give you a "heads-up" on the golf course and some of the history of Kinloch. I take a lot of enjoyment in meeting all guests who come to Dunalistair House, as I believe that the personal touch can be lacking in the holiday home sector. It is always nice therefore to be available to meet new clients and travelers who visit this magical region. I'll look forward to welcoming you back in the future should you wish to return for another Kinloch challenge! Best wishes, Alistair Tod Proprietor Dunalistair House Kinloch Holiday Homes.

Response from the owner Many thanks BJ for your fantastic review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your experience and time at Dunalistair House with your group. It is particularly pleasing to have group of 8 stay at Dunalistair House, as all couples in the group discover how delightful all the rooms are, especially the fact that every bedroom has an ensuite. One of the briefs we had for our architect was that we were not interested in having a 4th room if that room felt like it was inferior to the others. And the fact that we do have 4 such great rooms at Dunalistair is one of the reasons Brendon Gordon won the Architectural award for the home of the year in 2009! Certainly guests do need to be able to cook for themselves while staying at Dunalistair House, however, next time you come and stay, please allow me to offer you one of the amazing pre-prepared meals that I can deliver, which an absolute treat! Especially so for the first evening if you arrive a little later than planned. Thank you again for choosing us and I look forward to welcoming you back to Dunalistair House in the future. Kind regards Alistair. Proprietor Dunalistair House Kinloch Holiday Homes.
