On Monday morning we tried a cafe that’s new to us in Dunedin, the cafe by the hot salt water pool at St Clair. It was really lovely sitting right above the waves and watching the kelp swishing backwards and forwards with the tidal movement below, as we enjoyed our brunch.
Here’s a couple of photos that I took from my seat at our table, looking out the window beside me.

A lovely view while you enjoyed your meal. That is a beautiful green out in the water of the first photo. I hope its a place you get to go back to!

I’m sure we will Ellen as we both enjoyed it very much. It suits early morning visits as this beach is on the eastern edge of Dunedin. Mostly suburban residential except for a hotel and cafes right by the waterfront. Often see surfers in the water here.

Remember Nigel and I were seated inside at a cosy table with brunch so we could enjoy the moody beauty in comfort! The thing is, you can’t see the movement of the waves, the flowing of the kelp, and the diving of the seabirds that animated this scene and took the chill out of chilly 🙂

Very moody looking sky. I’m glad the sun shone later in the day.

It looks even more grey and moody in the photo than I remember it! The moodiness has its own form of beauty but it was lovely to have some sun later!

It was cold outside in the wind. It got sunnier as the day went on and overall it was pretty ok for a winters day thank goodness! I’d just started to tell you about my new colourful post and I see you’re already been there! 😉
