If you are looking for a quick single night stop-off whilst driving around the island, or a longer stay whilst visiting the Catlins forests and beaches, Ellen & Barry's is a great place to stay. It has everything you need to cook simple meals, is very clean, has a lovely bathroom and a super comfortable bed. Barry was very easy to chat to, and was happy to help with any issues or questions we had. With easy parking and very easy to find, it made our 2 night stay a breeze. With excellent views right outside our windows it was a pleasure to stay. We would highly recommend Ellen & Barry's place to stay.
