This is an absolutely beautiful spot to stay and take in the beauty and peacefulness found in the Catlins. The house catches the sun for the entire day; you can watch the sunrise from the living room and there's two different decks (one with a bbq) to relax on. We stayed over Christmas and Hilary and Keith were thoughtful enough to pop up a wee tinsel Christmas tree and lights in the living room for us :) 10/10 stay!
