Even though we arrived early, Ella greeted us so warmly and told us all about the farm. The apartment is perfect--so cosy, impeccably clean, thoughtfully appointed, and comfortable. The bathroom is brand new, modern, and gorgeous. The breakfast was wonderful with fresh farm milk and cheese. We went for a walk around the property where we found beautiful old trees and so many native birds. The location is secluded but still great for exploring the North Catlins--not a long drive from the gorgeous Nugget Point and Roaring Bay. We really really loved the experience of staying on a working farm and meeting Ella and Guy--they are some of the most genuine, inspiring, and talented people we have met. I wish we could have stayed for longer--to learn more about the farm and spend more time with them!!
