The Catlin's Estuary View house was warm and inviting when we arrived and so so clean! The beds were very comfortable with lots of spare bedding too. Everything in the house worked and it was such an easy place to relax and enjoy in between adventures. There is a fantastic folder and local maps detailing all the close by activities that was invaluable to planning our fun. Highlights for the kids were the close by Owaka campground, playing at Kaka Point beach and the ice creams there, the zip line and slide at the house that Hilary and Keith set us up on and watched and made sure the kids were safe. I loved the Purakaunui waterfalls and Nugget point lighthouse, all within half an hour away.
