t's only a 15-minute drive from Artica Art & Accommodation to the beach in Aramoana - a great place for long walks & wildlife spotting!

I recently made some pens with silver plating - made from beautiful NZ Rewarewa. More designs to come soon...

I've been so busy over the last few months and have neglected this page... But today I managed to go up to the Scott Memorial and take a picture of our beautiful township :-) 
By the way - if you are ever planning to come to any of the big events in Dunedin we are just a 10 minutes drive away from Forsyth Barr Stadium (or there's a bus service as well!). Just remember to book early!!!

 I just found out that we got a Guest Review Award from Booking.com for the second year in a row ! A big thank you to our lovely guests who left feedback after staying with us :-)

Looking for some Christmas presents??? Check out my new Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/nz/shop/ArticaNewZealand where I am selling some of my pens :-) More items to come some time soon...

Oops , I've missed our birthday...- just over 2 years ago we opened Artica Art & Accommodation and have met lots of lovely people since then! Thank you all for staying with us & for your wonderful feedback (our rating on booking.com is still 9.7).

A great day to sit on the deck and enjoy the sunshine ☀️

I hardly ever use stains but someone asked me for a blue & gold ballpoint pen - here it is, made from stained holly decorated with 23 karat gold leaf. 

I just finished transforming this old chandelier :-)

Great day for a walk around Port Chalmers - the photo shows our lovely little township with Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua in the middle of the picture and the Otago Peninsula in the background.
